Error : Class "Faker\Factory" not found after Upgrade to Laravel 8 and use factory legacy
After i upgrade my project from laravel 7 to laravel 8 and use legacy factory package i receive an error
Error : Class "Faker\Factory" not found
Seems like missing Faker.
Any Ideas please!!!

Yeah. The old factories use Generator/Faker but so i had to require the fzaninotto/faker package. And the error gone but i receive a new error from the package.
typeError : join(): Argument #2 ($array) must be of type ?array, string given /opt/project/vendor/fzaninotto/faker/src/Faker/Provider/Lorem.php:95 /opt/project/vendor/fzaninotto/faker/src/Faker/Provider/Lorem.php:110 /opt/project/vendor/fzaninotto/faker/src/Faker/Generator.php:193 /opt/project/vendor/fzaninotto/faker/src/Faker/Generator.php:232

@Vaweto ok and what part of your code triggers it?

@Sinnbeck 'title'=> $faker->sentences,
This method comes from the package. A you can see trying to join words on string!! I think i have to fork it!!
public static function sentence
$words = static::words($nbWords);
$words[0] = ucwords($words[0]);
return join($words, ' ') . '.';

@Vaweto maybe try the new official package https://packagist.org/packages/fakerphp/faker
