Laravel 4 db seed specific seeder file

I have an existing user table with information seeded via `db:seed` from UserSeeder.php. Now, I am adding new product table and want to seed information into product table. How can I prevent Laravel from seeding the UserSeeder into the database, but only the new ProductSeeder being seeded?

Thanks.

Here's a working example with the class full namespace:

Should use double backslashes `\\`.

Class name is `DefaultBannersSeeder`.

php artisan db:seed --class=App\\Containers\\Banners\\Data\\Seeders\\DefaultBannersSeeder

You can call individual seed classes by their class name.
From the [docs][1].

> By default, the db:seed command runs the DatabaseSeeder class, which
> may be used to call other seed classes. However, you may use the
> --class option to specify a specific seeder class to run individually:

php artisan db:seed --class=ProductTableSeeder
In the example above, the `ProductTableSeeder` class should exist in `database/seeds`.

You can also edit your `database/seeders/DatabaseSeeder.php` file's `$this->call()` instruction:

<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
$this->call([
UserTableSeeder::class,
PermissionsSeeder::class
]);
}
}

I put my seeders in folders in accordance with their meaning.
I have `LookupSeeders`, `DemoSeeders`, `TestSeeders`...

for example I need to run this seeder - `project\database\seeds\LookupSeeders\CountrySeeder.php`

This is how you can do it... say from `project\tests\autoload.php` file

echo shell_exec('php artisan db:seed --class=LookupSeeders\\\\CountrySeeder');
