Modelfactory is not generating $Faker data for some tables

Question

I’m using the ModelFactory standard of Laravel 5 some time ago, and everything was going ok, but from a few days to here stopped generating data from the library faker for some tables, although continue normally for others.

When I spin php artisan db:seed -vvv with the definitions below, the table client is filled correctly, with all values, and the table email ends with 100 lines of default or empty values.

Any idea where to start debugging this?

database/Factory/Modelfactory.php (default)

$factory->define(App\Client::class, function ($faker) {
    $origins = DB::table('origin')->lists('id');
    $methods = DB::table('entry_method')->lists('id');
    $image = str_replace('public', '', $faker->image('public/img', '100', '100', 'cats'));
    return [
        'name' => $faker->firstName,
        'middlename' => $faker->lastName,
        'lastname' => $faker->lastName,
        'birthday' => $faker->date(),
        'type' => $faker->randomElement(array('nao-associado','patrimonial','cooperador','coletivo','entidade','emerito','individual')),
        'associate_code' => $faker->randomNumber(),
        'identification' => str_random(20),
        'identification_type' => $faker->randomElement(array('rg','cpf','cnh','passaporte','social-security','outro')),
        'language' => $faker->randomElement(array('pt','en')),
        'foreigner' => $faker->boolean(),
        'image' => $image,
        'vip' => $faker->numberBetween(0,1),
        'id_origin' => $faker->randomElement($origins),
        'id_entry_method' => $faker->randomElement($methods),
    ];
});

$factory->define(App\Email::class, function ($faker) {
    $clients = DB::table('client')->lists('id');
    return [
        'email' => $faker->companyEmail,
        'type' => $faker->randomElement(array('pessoal','comercial')),
        'id_client' => $faker->randomElement($clients),
    ];
});

database/Seeds/Databaseseeder.php

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Connection;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function run()
    {
        Model::unguard();

        DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0');

        factory('App\Client', 100)->create();
        factory('App\Email', 100)->create();
        // create
        DB::statement('SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=1');

        Model::reguard();
    }
}

app/Email.php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Email extends Model
{
    public $domains;
    public $timestamps = false;
    protected $table = 'email';
    protected $fillable = ['email', 'type', 'mailchimp_id', 'id_client'];

}

EDIT: Migrations

    Schema::create('client', function(Blueprint $table) 
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('name', 50);
        $table->string('middlename', 50)->nullable();
        $table->string('lastname', 50);
        $table->date('birthday')->nullable();
        $table->enum('type', ['nao-associado','patrimonial',
                              'cooperador','coletivo',
                              'entidade','emerito',
                              'individual'])->default('nao-associado');
        $table->string('associate_code', 45)->nullable(); // codigo_socio
        $table->string('identification'); // documento identidade
        $table->enum('identification_type', ['rg','cpf','cnh','passaporte','social-security','outro']); // codigo_socio
        $table->enum('language', ['pt','en'])->default('pt'); 
        $table->boolean('foreigner')->default(false);
        $table->string('password', 255)->nullable(); // documento identidade
        $table->string('image', 255); // foto
        $table->boolean('vip')->default(false);

        // Foreign keys
        $table->integer('id_entry_method')->unsigned();
        $table->integer('id_origin')->unsigned();
        $table->integer('id_client')->unsigned()->nullable();
        $table->foreign('id_entry_method')->references('id')->on('entry_method');
        $table->foreign('id_origin')->references('id')->on('origin');
        $table->foreign('id_client')->references('id')->on('client');
        $table->timestamps();
        $table->softDeletes();
    });

    Schema::create('email', function(Blueprint $table) 
    {
        $table->increments('id');
        $table->string('email', 50);
        $table->enum('type', ['pessoal','comercial']);
        $table->string('mailchimp_id', 100);
        $table->integer('id_client')->unsigned();
        $table->foreign('id_client')->references('id')->on('client');
    });

Answer 1

On your table email there is the field mailchimp_id which has not been defined in its Model Factory and also has no value default in Migration.

I modified your Factory here and it worked:

$factory->define(App\Email::class, function ($faker) {
    $clients = DB::table('client')->lists('id');
    return [
        'email' => $faker->companyEmail,
        'type' => $faker->randomElement(array('pessoal','comercial')),
        'mailchimp_id' => str_random(25),  
        'id_client' => $faker->randomElement($clients),
    ];
});
