All suggestions that were mentioned here are correct. However, you must run composer require laravel/legacy-factories in order for the code to run if you're using Laravel 8. In case you get an error that says Class 'Database\Factories\ArticleFactory' not found then make sure you have class ArticleFactory extends Factory and not ModalFactory. And make sure you're using HasFactory in the Article Model like here.
