Database Testing
Last updated 2 years ago.

Bump. I also want to define my model factories in my package directory where my models live, not in my test app.

The framework basically combines any .php files in the database/factories folder.

To streamline things a little bit, I got rid of ModelFactory.php and created things like:

/database
  /factories
    UserFactory.php
    ProductFactory.php

Each of those files simply contains the $factory->define(...); line.

As for putting them elsewhere.. I don't know.. but all the magic seems to happen in Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Factory.php in the construct function.
