I am trying to seed a database table from a JSON file for a specific set of tests.
This is the seeder saved in the regular seeds folder (generated by php artisan make:seeder)
use App\Models\Deal;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
class DealsTestSeeder extends Seeder
{
public function run()
{
DB::table('deals')->delete();
$json = File::get("database/json/deals.json");
$data = json_decode($json);
foreach($data as $obj) {
Deal::create($obj);
} // end foreach
}
}
This is the beginning of the test file
use App\Models\Deal;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
test('report returns deals of status 8', function() {
$this->seed(DealsTestSeeder::class);
$this->assertEquals(100, Deal::all()->count());
});
I GET THIS:
Tests\Feature\ProjectPerformanceReportTest > report returns deals of status 8
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
Target class [DealsTestSeeder] does not exist.

Looks like you have to import DealsTestSeeder class
use App\Models\Deal;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder\DealsTestSeeder; // <=== this line
test('report returns deals of status 8', function() {
$this->seed(DealsTestSeeder::class);
@sergiu17 That worked for me for one seeder.
<?php
use App\Models\Deal;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
test('deals scope of active returns status 8', function() {
$this->seed(DealsTestSeeder::class);
$this->seed(DealsFinSeeder::class);
$this->assertEquals(34, Deal::active()->count());
});
This gives me
Tests\Feature\ProjectPerformanceReportTest > deals scope of active returns status 8
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
Target class [DealsFinSeeder] does not exist.

26 tests/Feature/ProjectPerformanceReportTest.php:8
Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase::seed("DealsFinSeeder")
To be more logical I created a TestingDatabaseSeeder which looks like this
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class TestingDatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
public function run()
{
Model::unguard();
$this->call(DealsTestSeeder::class);
$this->call(DealsFinSeeder::class);
Model::reguard();
}
}
However
test('deals scope of active returns status 8', function() { $this->seed(TestingDatabaseSeeder::class);
$this->assertEquals(34, Deal::active()->count());
});
results in our old friend
Target class [DealsFinSeeder] does not exist.

STUPID ME!
composer dump-autoload
Thanks again!
I get the same error, unfortunately the composer dump-autoload does not solv it
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder\DepartmentSeeder;
it('creates a new user', function () {
$this->seed(DepartmentSeeder::class);
Error
• Tests\Feature\ExampleTest > it creates a new user
Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException
Target class [Illuminate\Database\Seeder\DepartmentSeeder] does not exist.

Any idea what's wrong?
@tobiass do you have DepartmentSeeder class inside database/seeds/ folder?
did you create the seeder?
This is the seeder file I use
@sergiu17 Yes I have the Seeders classes inside database/seeds/ folder.
@jgravois I have created the seeders
It works perfect using the "normal" laravel/phpUnit test
<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\RefreshDatabase;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithFaker;
use Tests\TestCase;
use DepartmentSeeder;
/** @test */
public function test_seed()
{
$this->seed(DepartmentSeeder::class);
But when I try with PEST Target class [Illuminate\Database\Seeder\DepartmentSeeder] does not exist.
I have tried with both the normal laravel seeder
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class DepartmentSeeder extends Seeder
and what I use for some seeders (seeding Csv) https://github.com/jeroenzwart/laravel-csv-seeder
But as soon as I try to implement it in PEST it fails
@TobiasS Use the fully qualified name when referencing your seeder in your tests:
<?php
namespace Tests\Feature;
use Database\Seeders\DepartmentSeeder;
And make sure your namespace is set in your seeder file:
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
clearing cache worked for me.
