Laravel 8 Seeding : run:handelerror

Question

I am trying to follow this documentation on how to make a seeder work

• https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/seeding#writing-seeders

Essentially just trying to get the demo thing they have working.

When I run php artisan db:seed I get this error

KanbanSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeders.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        DB::table('users')->insert([
            'name' => Str::random(10),
            'email' => Str::random(10).'@gmail.com',
            'password' => Hash::make('password'),
        ]);
    }
}

DatabaseSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Seed the application's database.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        // \App\Models\User::factory(10)->create();
        $this->call(KanbanSeeder::class);
    }
}

Any insight or links to a tutorial that might be more helpful for a novice than laravel documentation is much appreciated.

The answer is what @lagbox wrote in comments.

I had to change class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder

to class KanbanSeeder extends Seeder
