Laravel 8 vendor class `Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory` can't resolve name of ModelNameFactory class

Laravel 8 has the default App/Models directory for Model classes. The Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory has static function resolveFactoryName() to resolve name of ModelNameFactory class

    public static function resolveFactoryName(string $modelName)
    {
        $resolver = static::$factoryNameResolver ?: function (string $modelName) {
            $modelName = Str::startsWith($modelName, 'App\\Models\\')
                ? Str::after($modelName, 'App\\Models\\')
                : Str::after($modelName, 'App\\');

            return static::$namespace.$modelName.'Factory';
        };

        return $resolver($modelName);
    }

The function works properly only for App/ModelName or App/Models/ModelName if name of Model class, for example, is the Domain/Customers/Models/ModelName, that function doesn't work properly. What is the best way to fix it?

Please put this in your model class in App\Models\ModelName. Make sure the ModelFactory is the factory name.

protected static function newFactory()
{
    return \Modules\Module\Database\Factories\ModelFactory::new();
}

As you can see here, there is a method called guessFactoryNamesUsing which lets you tell Laravel how it should guess the name of your factories.

Add the following to your AppServiceProvider:

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory;

public function register()
{
    Factory::guessFactoryNamesUsing(function ($class) {
        return 'Database\\Factories\\' . class_basename($class) . 'Factory';
    });
}

Source:

/**
 * Specify the callback that should be invoked 
 * to guess factory names based on dynamic relationship names.
 *
 * @param  callable  $callback
 * @return void
 */
public static function guessFactoryNamesUsing(callable $callback)
{
    static::$factoryNameResolver = $callback;
}
