I’m interested in your services. Can you get me on the first page of Google for “web design”? — Martin Bean, Apr 19 '15 at 16:26
@GobinathMahalingam You genuinely think you can get me to the top of Google for the phrase “web design”? — Martin Bean, Apr 20 '15 at 08:37
After a frustrating 20 minutes, I did 'touch 000-composer-du-after-adding' in the database/seeds directory. — Hans, Dec 06 '16 at 20:21

I think the problem is your ServiceTableSeeder.php file. You should make sure the class filename in this file is ServiceTableSeeder and not DatabaseSeeder

Considering that Service is a model you created, and that this model is inside the app folder, within the App namespace, try this:

Fix your ServiceTableSeeder.php header:

<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Service;

class ServiceTableSeeder extends Seeder {

  public function run()
  {
    Service::create(
      array(
        'title' => 'Web development',
        'description' => 'PHP, MySQL, Javascript and more.'
      )
    );

    Service::create(
      array(
        'title' => 'SEO',
        'description' => 'Get on first page of search engines with our help.'
      )
    );

  }
}

As you have moved your models to app\models, you must declare that in each model file:

Models.php:

 namespace App\Models;

And in your seed file, use:

 use App\Models\Service.php;

Are you using composer to autoload your files? If so, update your composer.json file to include your models location:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "database",
        "app/Models"
    ],
    "psr-4": {
        "App\\": "app/"
    }
},

And finally, run this in your command line:

composer dump-autoload

@GobinathMahalingam I believe that you need to declare the namespace of the model. I included that in the answer. – Arthur Samarcos Apr 19 '15 at 15:11
@authur samarcos: I'm using laravel new version . I created models folder inside App folder. And created service model page. I try "use App\service;" and also "use App\models \Services" but I got same error msg – CodeMan Apr 21 '15 at 02:07

For those who are facing the same issue, confirm your APP_ENV variable from .env file cause Laravel don't let us to run db:seed if we set

'APP_ENV = Production'

for the sake of database records.

So, make sure you set value of APP_ENV to 'staging' or 'local' and then run php artisan db:seed
