I would guess it might be the implementation of Faker's text helper - it generates random words and joins them into a string. Try replacing that description value with a string literal until Faker supports PHP 7.4

Laravel 6 and php 7.4 seeding problem
I update to php 7.4 and in mine laravel 6 project when I seed a class I get this error:
ErrorException : implode(): Passing glue string after array is deprecated. Swap the parameters
This is my 'problematic' factory class:
$factory->define(Complaint::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'date' => Carbon::parse($faker->dateTimeBetween('-5 years', 'now'))->format('d.m.Y'),
'type_of_complaint_id' => TypeOfComplaint::inRandomOrder()->first()->id,
'center_id' => Center::inRandomOrder()->first()->id,
'complainant' => $faker->name,
'description' => $faker->text(50),
'created_by' => User::inRandomOrder()->first()->id,
'updated_by' => User::inRandomOrder()->first()->id,
];
});
What could be a problem?

As I said on a similar question wait a little while before updating this stuff and let the other Technologies catch up, doesn't hurt to wait a month or two.

Or, contribute these fixes back to the open source packages that you use and rely on...

You can swap (in affect lines with implode command) glue and array. Example: return implode($words,' ') . '.'; to return implode(' ',$words) . '.';

The newest version of the fzaninotto/faker package solves this issue.

If you updated php to 7.4 .
run composer update.
It will update faker automatically.

I finally upgraded my Docker php container to 7.4 and encountered this implode() error while seeding.
I had to manually update my composer.json file as the project I am in at the moment is on an older framework version (6 where faker was 1.8.0):
"require-dev": {
...
"fzaninotto/faker": "~v1.9.2",
....
}```
