Target class [CoursesTableSeeder] does not exist.

I had an error that said Target class [CoursesTableSeeder] does not exist. I found that you need to run the composer dumpautoload command to generate a new classmap every time you add a file to database/, otherwise it will not be autoloaded.

composer dumpautoload

Then seed the seeder

php artisan db:seed
