Can you please detail what is your use case?

New laravel or existing project? Is there any URL to it?

did you tried composer dump-autoload

I just tested installation in a brand new laravel 5.5 and I get it working.

Give me some more details so I can help!

Steps:

1. composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel tournament -- OK
2. composer require "xoco70/laravel-tournaments":^0.13 -- OK
3. php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-tournaments -- OK. 4 things being copied, namely, migrations, seeds, factories and resources/assets
4. php artisan migrate -- plenty of files migrated
5. composer dump-autoload -- OK
6. php artisan db:seed --class=LaravelTournamentSeeder

Seeding... Seeding: VenueSeeder Venues seeding! Seeding: CategorySeeder Seeding: TournamentSeeder Seeding: CompetitorSeeder Competitors seeding!

Ohh, I see.

For now, you can do this in database/factories/UserFactory

Replace $factory->define(App\User::class, function (Faker $faker) { By $factory->define(Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User::class, function (Faker $faker) {

WIth that, it should work, while I publish a fix.

I added --force to publish line in README.md, that should solve this issue

Confirmed resolved.
