@lianmaymesi probably best to do this:
$name = $this->faker->title;
return [
'name' => $name,
'slug' => Str::slug($name),
'description' => $this->faker->paragraph,
'price' => 1000
];

Unknown formatter "name"
I have an error while testing. Below are the code and error.
`public function definition() {
return [
'name' => $name = $this->faker->title,
'slug' => Str::slug($name),
'description' => $this->faker->paragraph,
'price' => 1000
];
}

$name = $this->faker->title;
return [
'name' => $name,
'slug' => Str::slug($name),
'description' => $this->faker->paragraph,
'price' => 1000
];
Still, the error is the same, Unknown formatter "title"

try
$name = $this->faker->name;
return [
'name' => $name,
'slug' => Str::slug($name),
'description' => $this->faker->paragraph,
'price' => 1000
];

I found that using factory in a setUp() method trigger this error. The error disappear if I move the setUp() code in the test method.

Yuppie!!! I solved it!
Solution 1
Use factories in setUp() method but remove the WithFaker trait.
Solution 2
Use factories in test method but not in setUp() method having care to use WithFaker trait.
P.S. Have care to use
parent::setUp();
in your setUp() method.

None of your solutions work on my end . Using laravel 8.
Level 1
Using laravel 8 migrations requires you to:
- Use TestCase as a parent class
- Override withFaker() method (Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory)
You can try next solution inside your faker class:
protected function withFaker()
{
return \Faker\Factory::create('en');
}

In tests you have to call parent::setUp(); before your faker generation
use CreatesApplication, RefreshDatabase;
protected function setUp(): void
{
parent::setUp();
$this->user = UserFactory::new()->create();
}
