How can i fix this?

There are two options

You should put the CountriesTableSeeder in the seeders folder with the namespace of

namespace Database\Seeders;
You should use the CountriesTableSeeder inside DatabaseSeeder as below

use Database\Seeds\CountriesTableSeeder;

database/seeder/DatabaseSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Database\Seeds\CountriesTableSeeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call([CountriesTableSeeder::class,TimeZonesTableSeeder::class,LanguagesTableSeeder::class]);
    }
}

Update your code with below contents:

database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Database\Seeds\CountriesTableSeeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call([CountriesTableSeeder::class,TimeZonesTableSeeder::class,LanguagesTableSeeder::class]);
    }
}

database/seeds/CountriesTableSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeds;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use ErnySans\Laraworld\Models\Countries;

class CountriesTableSeeder extends Seeder
{        
    public function run()
    { 
        Countries::truncate();

        $JSON_countries = Countries::allJSON();

        foreach ($JSON_countries as $country) {
            Countries::create([
                'capital'           => ((isset($country['capital'])) ? $country['capital'] : null),
                'citizenship'       => ((isset($country['citizenship'])) ? $country['citizenship'] : null),
                'country_code'      => ((isset($country['country_code'])) ? $country['country_code'] : null),
                'currency'          => ((isset($country['currency'])) ? $country['currency'] : null),
                'currency_code'     => ((isset($country['currency_code'])) ? $country['currency_code'] : null),
                'currency_sub_unit' => ((isset($country['currency_sub_unit'])) ? $country['currency_sub_unit'] : null),
                'full_name'         => ((isset($country['full_name'])) ? $country['full_name'] : null),

                'iso_3166_3'        => ((isset($country['iso_3166_3'])) ? $country['iso_3166_3'] : null),
                'name'              => ((isset($country['name'])) ? $country['name'] : null),
                'region_code'       => ((isset($country['region_code'])) ? $country['region_code'] : null),
                'sub_region_code'   => ((isset($country['sub_region_code'])) ? $country['sub_region_code'] : null),
                'eea'               => (bool)$country['eea'],

database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call([CountriesTableSeeder::class,TimeZonesTableSeeder::class,LanguagesTableSeeder::class]);

NOTE: Move your CountriesTableSeeder.php inside the seeders folder

database/seeders/CountriesTableSeeder.php

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use ErnySans\Laraworld\Models\Countries;

class CountriesTableSeeder extends Seeder
{

    { 
        Countries::truncate();

        $JSON_countries = Countries::allJSON();

        foreach ($JSON_countries as $country) {
            Countries::create([
                'capital'           => ((isset($country['capital'])) ? $country['capital'] : null),
                'citizenship'       => ((isset($country['citizenship'])) ? $country['citizenship'] : null),

                'name'              => ((isset($country['name'])) ? $country['name'] : null),
                'region_code'       => ((isset($country['region_code'])) ? $country['region_code'] : null),

                'currency_symbol'   => ((isset($country['currency_symbol'])) ? $country['currency_symbol'] : null),
            ]);
        }
    }
}

Am getting the same error. See the updated questin body.I've made the changes u said as in it — , Sep 24 '21 at 05:31
you have used both the solutions if you have moved the `CountriesTableSeeder` inside the `seeders` folder you can remove the `use Database\Seeds\CountriesTableSeeder;` from `DatabaseSeeder` — dev_mustafa, Sep 24 '21 at 05:33
Now , i just deleted `CountriesTableSeeder` from `seeders` folder & put it in `seeds` folder. And kept the line of `use Database\Seeds\CountriesTableSeeder;` in `databaseSeeder.php`. Still am having the same error. if so, what should be the namespace of `coutriesTableSeeder` now? — , Sep 24 '21 at 05:37
I've added a complete code section for you in my answer check that... — dev_mustafa, Sep 24 '21 at 05:42
Did you add the autoloads to the `composer.json`? see https://stackoverflow.com/a/65377397/3330212 — Anthony Aslangul, Sep 24 '21 at 05:49
@toyi yes. see the updated question body. i've added the composer.son content in it — , Sep 24 '21 at 05:52
I've added another section in my answer with the title `Solution 1 Complete Code:` use that and also run `composer dump-autoload` after the changes — dev_mustafa, Sep 24 '21 at 05:53
