Right now this package only looks within the specific folder. It does not traverse into deeper directories. This issue aims to address that by searching within the subfolders and generating factories which mirror the structure.

For example, an app/Models/Blog/Comment.php model should be found and generate an database/factories/Blog/CommentFactory.php factory.

Looks like a version clash with latest dbal. Have created a related PR for this:

Naoray/eloquent-model-analyzer#16

Downgrade seems to solve as per:

If I try to create a factory for a single model using any of the following commands -

php artisan generate:factory Car
php artisan generate:factory Car --path=app/Models

then I get the error below. It would appear that this single model option only works for models present is the app/ directory.

Class App\Car does not exist

Looks like its not possible to include --i option mentioned in the readme?

Possibly related to #1

The directory structure of the factories does mirror the models, so if the model is in app/Feature/Models, the factory is created in database/factories/Features/Models. Which is great.

But the factory namespace is

namespace Database\Factories;

And when calling App\Feature\Models\Foo::factory(), laravel resolves the factory to Database\Factories\Feature\Models\FooFactory, which doesn't exist.

I am following this Laravel 11.x Compatibility #29 issue/pr and attempting to run this I get the following error.

Only one of these can be installed: illuminate/support[v5.0.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev, v6.0.0, ..., 6.x-dev, v7.0.0, ..., 7.x-dev, 
  v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev, v9.0.0-beta.1, ..., 9.x-dev, v10.0.0, ..., 10.x-dev, v11.0.0, ..., 11.x-dev], 
laravel/framework[v11.0.0, ..., 11.x-dev].
laravel/framework replaces illuminate/support and thus cannot coexist with it.

Any ideas?

Some of the commonly named columns did not map to the correct types. For example, email got mapped to word

In addition, it'd be nice if anything _id was mapped to an integer (or null) if it were not determined to be a model.

Example:

Currently this doesn't support php 8.*

I was running php artisan generate:factory and it returned this exception:

   BadMethodCallException

After some debugging I found out that this happens in my user model. Further investigations revealed that the trait Rewardable was the problem. This trait comes from this package: https://github.com/anhofmann/laravel-promocodes I forked this package, but I think it will also happen in the original package: https://github.com/zgabievi/laravel-promocodes
I know that laravel-promocodes is pretty old, but it's working well in my laravel 8 app. Do you see a way to fix this? At this point I don't know if this is a bug in factory-generator or laravel-promocodes.

When I try to run php artisan generate:factory Example I get a fatal error:

Doctrine\DBAL\Schema\SchemaException 
There is no column with name 'id' on table 'examples'.

I have run migrate:fresh and I'm reasonably confident the id column exists. This error happens for every model I try it on, meaning the factory generator is unusable for me until I can work out the solution.

Nothing turned up in existing issues or Google, do you have any idea why this could happening? Please let me know if there's any more information you need from me.

Any chance you can add geography and geometry as valid types? There is a good discussion on this here https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/doctrinedbal-how-to-add-data-types-when-using-xethronmigrations-generator

When generating a factory for a Model with a password column it will generate the following column in the factory file:

'password' => Hash::make('password'),

We need to add the import statement at the top or let the developer know that he hast to add it.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
