I'm trying to insert a user into my laravel forge site automatically, but the seeder is not working. I can create a user and log in, but I'm trying to have a default admin user once the site is live.

class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        DB::table('users')->insert([
            'name' => 'Jovani Calixte',
            'is_admin' => 1,
            'email' => '[email protected]',
            'password' => bcrypt('password'),
        ]);
    }
}

and this the database user php file

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        
        $this->call(UsersTableSeeder::class);
    }
}

When I deploy the site to forge and try to log in I get the following error. What am I doing wrong?

1. Whoops! Something went wrong.
2. These credentials do not match our records.

CodePudding user response：

If you want to seed the database on the Forge provisioned server, you can log into Forge and navigate to your server/site, and click "Commands" in the navbar on the left, you can then run the command for your seeder,

php artisan db:seed

or

php artisan db:seed --class=UsersTableSeeder

To ensure that this data did indeed seed, you should check your users table to make sure that the record is in the table.
