Answer 1

I had this problem and I could solve it by doing php artisan config:cache. The problem was that I had already run that command previously and later included some new seeder classes. The cached configurations didn't recognize the new classes. So running that command again worked.

If you see yourself making frequent changes to include new seeder classes then consider running php artisan config:clear. This will enable you to make as many changes as you'd like and then after testing you can run config:cache again to make things run optimally again.
