php artisan make:factory-reloaded command produce this error about laravel-factories-reloaded HOT 3 CLOSED

I found out that using an array syntax when defining factory , causes this error
for example:

this syntax is ok with laravel, if you are not passing any Faker in the function

this is the short syntax but for some reason your Generatecommand throw error in this?

why? you should also accept this syntax...

$factory->state(User::class, 'payment', [
        'payment' => [
            'name'   => 'BDO',
            'amount' => 12000,
            'paid'   => true
        ]
    ]);

after changing to this syntax error goes away

$factory->state(User::class, 'payment', function () {
    return [
        'payment' => [
            'name'   => 'BDO',
            'amount' => 12000,
            'paid'   => true
        ]
    ];
});

Thanks @codeitlikemiley. We had this on our list. Let me check that.

@nuernbergerA and me took a look you are right. The array syntax is not supported currently. I change the code so it throws now a new exception with a helpful message about it.

It is quite some amount of work to make arrays work too, so we won't focus on supporting that right now. But we will at some point in the future. Please use the closure syntax for now.
