Database Seed Data Not Included In Build

[hfzm]

What were you trying to do?

Thank you for this great technology. I was trying to build my application with sqlite3 database and I was trying to seed some data in development mode.

What happened?

It shows the data without any errors in my application in development phase but when I build and package my application the seeded data is not included in the built mode.

How to reproduce the bug

Please solve this issue because we need some seeded data always either its development or production mode for example roles and permissions table data. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work.

Package Versions

I am using the latest verson always.

PHP Version

8.1

Laravel Version

11

Node Version

18

Which operating systems have you seen this occur on?

Linux

OS version

Ubuntu 24 LTS

This is by design and is not a bug.

Consider: the database is created from scratch on each new installation of your application.

You should build your application in a way that it attempts to seed the database on first run if it's not already seeded.

Yeah, so how can I do it? As you're saying I should build it in a way that it should seed on each fresh installation, and as the installation process is related to Electron and NativePHP configuration so I could not find anything in the documentation to run my seeder files on fresh install. Your help would be really appreciated in this if you can add some guidance to the documentation it would be really helpful. Thanks in advance. It is really a great technology and because of this, I am just one step away from creating my project and presenting it to the public.

You can call the db:seed Artisan command from PHP using the Artisan facade.

Wrap that call in an if which checks your DB first to see if it has been seeded. (You might want an explicit record in one of your seeders that gives you a clear signal that seeding has happened)

Put that whole block somewhere that will run every time your app boots - e.g. the NativeServiceProvider - so that it runs every time.

Thank you very much for your support, I really appreciate it. NativePHP is a great project and I wish more success for it in the future and I hope it will conquer the world of mobile applications too. Thanks again for your email. I think it will do the job done and finally I can publish my desktop application successfully.
