$factory->define(User::class, function (Faker $faker) {
    return [

<?php

User App/Modules/User/Models/User.php

<?php

namespace App\Modules\User\Models;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
}

When I run

php artisan module:seed

I get the following:

Seeding: App\Modules\User\Database\Seeds\UserTableSeeder

InvalidArgumentException : Unable to locate factory with name [default] [App\Modules\User\Models\User].

#95 didn't work for me.

Laravel autoload database/factories via composer, caffeinated/modules not
it is necessary to load those files as with the config files in the ModuleServiceProvider

@arthvrian
What needs adding to the ModuleServiceProvider exactly? Having the same issue.
Thanks

@fordster78 I just send a PR to fix this, see #370
