The {type} model was not found.

I am trying to load the basic testdummy as follows

<?php
                Factory::$factoriesPath = base_path() . '/tests/factories';
        $userAttributes = Factory::build('User');
        return $userAttributes;

and my tests/factories/users.php file is as follows:

<?php
    $factory('User', [
        'first_name' => $faker->firstName,
        'last_name' => $faker->lastName,
        'email' => $faker->unique()->email,
        'password' => $faker->password,
        'gender' => $faker->randomElement(['Male', 'Female']),
        'activated' => $faker->boolean
    ]);

but when i run, it gives me error The User model was not found.

does anyone knows what this is?

I'm having the same issue when trying to use TestDummy for seeding. Basically the same setup as @hardikaecor . I've tried changing to TestDummy::times(5)->create('App\Events'); but I get a TestDummyException Could not locate a factory with the name: App\Events. Without App\ I get the same error as above.

I was able to solve this by changing my factories.php file. I was using $factory('Events' instead of $factory('App\Events'.
