How do your seeders look like ? It seems like your trying to fill a Seeder Model. I guess thats not what your planning to do?

Seeder class not found in Laravel5 Seeding
I follow the docs: http://laravel.com/docs/master/migrations#database-seeding
I placed some seeders class In database/seeds/ folder, My DatabaseSeeder class now looks like this :
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder {
public function run()
{
Model::unguard();
$this->call('SectorsTableSeeder');
$this->call('JobsTableSeeder');
$this->call('SmicTableSeeder');
}
}
but when I run it I got an error
[Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Class 'Seeder' not found
Even if I run "composer dump-autoload" or "php artisan optimize" I still got this error.
I don't know what to do to force Seeder class to be loaded.
Can someone help me please?

Have you got this at the top in each seeder file?
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

@jelore Do you have the models set up for each of the seeds?

Sorry. I am such an Idiot. I was so sure that the error comme from DatabaseSeeder, that i forget to really check my seeders. I didn't import Seeder class in seeders. Thank you all for your answers.

@falak_hamid You have to run:
composer dump-autoload -o
for the autoloader to pick up the newly classes because the database folder is not automatically autoloaded with PSR-4.

The @Ruffles's answer is the correct one +1

I used "use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;" in all the seeder files. And I call all the classes from inside the DatabaseSeeder class as
public function run() {
$this->call(AuthorsTableSeeder :: class);
}
It works fine for me now.

I had an error with the seeder, I fixed all the classes and re ran the command to find the error again. I then ran this:
composer dumpautoload
and everything was working fine. What is this command doing?
