I have a Laravel seeder file in which I want to use a Utils class that I created. The Utils class is located at app/Classes/Utils.php, but when I add use App\Classes\Utils as U; at the top of my seeder file and try to call static methods in the Utils class in the seeder, I get the following error:

Class 'App\Classes\Utils' not found

What am I doing wrong/missing? Thanks.
I am using Laravel 5.8.16 and PHP 7.3.2.

Can you show class content? – Davit Zeynalyan May 13 '19 at 21:54
There's currently one static function with the following signature: `public static function getCsvData($filePath)`. And I'm trying to call it as follows in the seeder: `U::getCsvData('file-path-here')`. – HartleySan May 13 '19 at 21:58

Check the namespace of your `Utils` class. – The Alpha May 13 '19 at 21:59
That's what it was, Alpha. I needed to add `namespace App\Classes;`. Thank you. – HartleySan May 14 '19 at 01:15
