failed to open stream: No such file or directory generate:seed [--path="..."] [--templatePath="..."] tableName

Question

I tried running the command:

php artisan generate:seed Houses

However, I got the error:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory generate:seed [--path="..."] [--templatePath="..."] tableName

I migrated my table and generated my controller and table with php artisan generate. I am using Laravel 4.2. Is there something missing? I am trying to follow the instructions of a tutorial and there are certain artisan commands that don't work. Like I tried to generate the migration files and it gave me the same error, but I noticed that there were migration files already generated after I generated the controller and the table.

Do you use this [generator](https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Laravel-4-Generators)? — Ján Kyselica, Dec 12 '15 at 07:49
Please provide more information about what package you are using to have that generator. — lagbox, Dec 13 '15 at 07:23

I can tell you right now that the command you're using won't work. As well, make sure the tutorial you're following isn't for Laravel 5 as that version has much more artisan commands than 4.

It looks like you're trying to seed your database. Have you tried this command?

php artisan migrate:refresh --seed

This should do what you want, assuming your migration files are coded properly. In general, I would suggest to read up just a bit more on the topic so you can better understand how it all works.
