This error occurs when the Chirp class is not properly autoloaded in the tinker environment. To fix this, try running the following command in your terminal:

composer dump-autoload

This will regenerate the autoload files and should allow tinker to find the Chirp class. If that doesn't work, make sure that the Chirp class is properly namespaced and located in the correct directory.

If you're still having issues, try manually including the Chirp class in tinker by running the following command:

require_once app_path('Chirp.php');

This should allow you to use the Chirp class in tinker.

you may need to include the full path of the class or set the namespace...

Thanks a lot Lary, the "composer dump-autoload" solved my trouble.

You also can type in php artisan thinker:

App\Models\Chirp::all();

...without composer dump-autoload

BTW, Chirp is refered in Laravel Bootcamp at: https://bootcamp.laravel.com/blade/creating-chirps
