How to fix "Target class [UserSeeder] does not exist" error?

Question

PHP

Here is the DatabaseSeeder.php code:

<?php

namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

use UserSeeder;
use PostSeeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $this->call([
            UserSeeder::class,
            PostSeeder::class,
        ]);
    }
}

Here is UsersSeeder.php:

<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;

class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        // for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
        DB::table('users')->insert([
            'first_name' => Str::random(10),
            'second_name' => Str::random(10),
            'email' => Str::random(10) . '@gmail.com',
            'password' => Hash::make(Str::random(12)),
        ]);
        // }
    }
}

Laravel is my 9th. Updated it is fine. Here is composer.json:

        }
    },
    "autoload-dev": {

        }
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-autoload-dump": [
            "Illuminate\\Foundation\\ComposerScripts::postAutoloadDump",
            "@php artisan package:discover --ansi"
        ],
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "@php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-assets --ansi --force"
        ],
        "post-root-package-install": [
            "@php -r \"file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "@php artisan key:generate --ansi"
        ]
    },
    "extra": {
        "laravel": {
            "dont-discover": []
        }
    },
    "config": {
        "optimize-autoloader": true,
        "preferred-install": "dist",
        "sort-packages": true
    },
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "prefer-stable": true
}

On the Internet there is advice about the team composer dump-autoload. So, she didn't help me.
If you write php artisan migrate:fresh --seed, then the error mentioned in the title of this question will occur!

Replace with + your file is called UsersSeeder.php , and the class name is UserSeeder
