[ReflectionException] Class LocalUsersSeeder does not exist

Just a quick techie post to help out any other laravelians’ who might hit this issue with Laravel 5.2 and database seeding.

I’ve written a seeder and it keeps failing to seed when I run this,

artisan migrate:refresh ---seed

[ReflectionException]
Class LocalUsersSeeder does not exist

Turns out the quick fix was all I had to do was re-run the

composer dump-autoload

Then it all worked! #HTH
