Martin, if you're still out there... :)

use App\Models\Fees\UsersSubscription;
use App\User;
use Faker\Generator as Faker;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

$factory->define(UsersSubscription::class, function (Faker $faker) {
    return [
            'user_id' => User::Factory(),
            'fee_id' => Fee::Factory(),
            'active' => '1',
            'renew' => '1',
            'tcs_version' => '1',
            'existing_customer' => 1
    ];
});

My factories are 7.x style now. But when I do this...

        $user = factory(User::class)
            ->create()
            ->each(function ($u) {
                $u->usersSubscription()->save(factory(UsersSubscription::class)->make());
            });

I get this

BadMethodCallException : Call to undefined method App\User::Factory()

...but it works if I do this...

        $user = factory(User::class)
            ->create();

I should have been a lumberjack...

version 7.x here - I must have not checked the version of the docs before I started taking bits.

Thanks !

Thanks Martin, I am very much new to this so appreciate your help.

I now get the following error :

InvalidArgumentException : Unable to locate factory for [App\User].

I have this in database\factories\UserFactory.php

namespace Database\Factories;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factory;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use App\User;

class UserFactory extends Factory
{
    /**
     * The name of the factory's corresponding model.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $model = User::class;

    /**
     * Define the model's default state.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function definition()
    {
        return [
            'first_name' => $this->faker->name,
            'last_name' => $this->faker->name,
            'email' => $this->faker->unique()->safeEmail,
            'email_verified_at' => now(),
            'password' => 'yIXUNpkjO0rOQ5byMi.Ye4oKoEa3Ro9llC/.og/at2.uheWG/igi', // password
            'remember_token' => Str::random(10),
        ];
    }
}

Any further help would get me out of trouble, many thanks.

Hi Martin

Sorry for my imprecise language, assuming that I want to do this as a feature test, and I still get this error, what should I do then ?

Hi, I'm trying to create a factory to use in a unit test.

        $user = factory(User::class, 1)->create()->each(function($u) {
            $u->usersSubscription()
                ->save( factory(UsersSubscription::class)->make() )
                ->each(function($p){
                    $p->usersSubscriptionFeesCollection()->save(factory(UsersSubscriptionFeesCollection::class)->make());
                });
        });

and I get this error :

RuntimeException : A facade root has not been set.

Any help would be gratefully received.

It turns out you were right ! Once I'd added the where into the second clause, all was working.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on this innocuous piece of eloquent :

	    $users = User::with(['usersSubscriptionFeesCollection' => function ($q) use ($value) {
                $q->where('settled','=','0');
            }])
            ->with(['usersSubscription' => function ($q) use ($value) {
                $q->('active', '=', '1');
            }])
            ->where('active', '=', '1')
            ->get();

I expect the output of this to be the active users, the active userSubscriptions for the users, and the unsettled (settled = 0) usersSubscriptionFeesCollection for the userSubscriptions.

For some reason the output for this collection includes usersSubscriptionFeesCollection records with settled = 1 aswell as settled = 0. Oddly, the second with clause does behave as expected (only giving active usersSubscriptions.

If any patient developers can explain why this might happen, I'd be extremely grateful.
