I am trying to deploy a laravel project on forge and i am getting the below exception :
Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException]
Class 'Faker\Factory' not found
I have the faker reference in require-dev in composer.json!
composer.json file
{
"name": "laravel/laravel",
"description": "The Laravel Framework.",
"keywords": ["framework", "laravel"],
"license": "MIT",
"type": "project",
"require": {
"php": ">=5.5.9",
"laravel/framework": "5.1.*",
"tymon/jwt-auth": "0.5.*",

},
"require-dev": {

},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"database"
],
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
}
},
"autoload-dev": {
"classmap": [
"tests/TestCase.php"
]
},
"scripts": {
"post-install-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"php artisan optimize"
],
"pre-update-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled"
],
"post-update-cmd": [
"php artisan optimize"
],
"post-root-package-install": [
"php -r \"copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
],
"post-create-project-cmd": [
"php artisan key:generate"
]
},
"config": {
"preferred-install": "dist"
}
}
Deployment script in Forge:
git pull origin master
composer install --no-interaction --no-dev --prefer-dist
php artisan migrate --force
php artisan db:seed --class="StaticDataSeeder"
I was able to deploy the same project locally with out any problem and composer update on forge also runs successfully and i can see the faker package getting downloaded.
Please let me know if i am missing something.
