Can you show the code?
Are you using bound datasets? If not, try using them

Faker in Pest dataset not working
Has anyone used faker in factories that are then used in a Pest dataset?
I get an error: Unknown format "firstName".
Directly in the Pest test they work fine, its only in datasets.
Is there something I've missed?

Sure, a tripped down version is:
test:
<?php
it('has orderline index page', function ($user, $status) {
$this->actingAs($user)
->get(route('order-lines.index'))
->assertStatus($status);
})->with('users_with_groups');
dataset:
<?php
use App\Group;
use App\User;
dataset('users_with_groups', function () {
return [
'No User' => User::factory()->make(),
'No Permissions' => User::factory()->create([
'group_id' => Group::factory()->create(['name' => 'no Access'])
]),
'standard' => User::factory()->standard()->create(),
'products only' => User::factory()->product()->create(),
'limited' => User::factory()->limited()->create(),
'readonly' => User::factory()->readonly()->create(),
'administrator' => User::factory()->administrator()->create(),
];
});
If I move the dataset array directly into the ->with() method it works - but as I will use this dataset all over the place it makes sense to use it like its supposed to be used.
...I've just realised this exact setup wont work because I don't have the $status in there, but you get the gist.

@tobz.nz Did you try with bound datasets?
'No User' => fn() => User::factory()->make(),
Your exact example is in the docs I linked
Level 3
@Sinnbeck Yes I've tried that as well. No dice.
Its pretty much exactly the same os in the docs - and if I wasn't using faker in the UserFactory it'd all work fine too.
Level 3
@Sinnbeck Ah.. figured it out - turns out I had not tried bounding it properly.
Not sure how I'd tried it before - maybe without yield?
Anyway, this worked.
dataset('users_with_groups', function () {
yield fn () => User::factory()->make();
....
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Figured it out properly - I was not using the WithFaker class.
<?php
use App\Group;
use App\User;
uses(\Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\WithFaker::class);
dataset('users_with_groups', function () {
yield 'No Group' => fn () => User::factory()->make();
yield 'No Access' => fn () => User::factory()->create([
'group_id' => Group::factory()->create(['name' => 'no Access'])
]);
yield 'Standard' => fn () => User::factory()->standard()->create();
yield 'Product' => fn () => User::factory()->product()->create();
yield 'Limited' => fn () => User::factory()->limited()->create();
yield 'Readonly' => fn () => User::factory()->readonly()->create();
yield 'Administrator' => fn () => User::factory()->administrator()->create();
});
