    /**
     * A basic unit test example.
     * @test

     */
    public function CreateDonation()
    {
        //$status = factory(DonatorStatus::class)->create();

}

<?php

Igor, these are problems specific with your code, and not issues with the framework. Please ask questions like these on a site like StackOverflow, or the Laravel Slack channel

Github issues are only for reporting framework bugs.

Thanks!

[browner12]

It is a problem with lines like this.

'return_card'=>$faker->words,
'result_card'=>$faker->words,

Please read the Faker documentation thoroughly and you should find the problem.

[IgorDePaula]

Oh, shit, sorry, very sorry, I think that could be with framework.

[browner12]

No need to apologize, just try those other options first next time.

Thanks!

Steps to reproduce the error:
Factory File

`

/** @var \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factory $factory */

use App\Setting;
use Faker\Generator as Faker;

$factory->define(Setting::class, function (Faker $faker) {
return [
'header_logo' => $faker->image('public/images/settings/',
186,165,null, false),
'footer_logo' => $faker->image('public/images/settings/',
200,70,null, false),
'motto' => $faker->catchPhrase,
'header_words'=> $faker->sentence($nbWords = 8, $variableNbWords = true),
'location' => $faker->name,
'phone' => $faker->e164PhoneNumber,
'currency' => $faker->currencyCode,
'tANDc' => $faker->$faker->sentence($nbWords = 8, $variableNbWords = true),
'privacy_and_policy' => $faker->sentence($nbWords = 8, $variableNbWords = true),
'copyrites' => '2020 Demo System. All Rights Reserved',
'mission' => $faker->sentence($nbWords = 8, $variableNbWords = true),
'vision' => $faker->sentence($nbWords = 8, $variableNbWords = true),
'goal' => $faker->numberBetween($min = 100, $max = 900),
'fb' => $faker->url,
'twitter' => $faker->domainName,
'linkedin' => $faker->freeEmailDomain,
'instagram' => $faker->safeEmailDomain
];
});
`

Seeder File Below:

`

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use App\Setting;

class SettingsTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
Setting::truncate();

    $setting = factory(Setting::class)->create();

}

}

In your factory, for "tANDc", your calling $factory->$factory. I fixed that error and ran your code, and it works as expected.
