The call() method expects an array, not a list of arguments, so the proper invocation is

    $this->call([
        AdminSeeder::class,
        CategorySeeder::class,
        UsersSeeder::class,
    ]);

The key here is that array is accepted since version 5.5 of Laravel framework. Previously, including v5.4 you are now using, only allowed single class name (string) as argument. So if you cannot upgrade to 5.5, you need to call all the classes separately, i.e.:

    $cls = [
        AdminSeeder::class,
        CategorySeeder::class,
        UsersSeeder::class,
    ];
    foreach ($cls as $c) {
       $this->call($c);
    }

Docs for v5.4 and docs for v5.5

but this $this->call([ AdminSeeder::class, CategorySeeder::class, UsersSeeder::class, ]); process didn't work. Array to string conversion error. How can i solve it?

You also call each seeder seperately.

$this->call('AdminSeeder');
$this->call('CategorySeeder');
$this->call('UsersSeeder');

Edit for the downvoter, the call function can accept array or string.

/**
 * Seed the given connection from the given path.
 *
 * @param  array|string  $class
 * @param  bool  $silent
 * @return $this
 */
public function call($class, $silent = false)
{
    $classes = Arr::wrap($class);
    foreach ($classes as $class) {
        if ($silent === false && isset($this->command)) {
            $this->command->getOutput()->writeln("<info>Seeding:</info> $class");
        }
        $this->resolve($class)->__invoke();
    }
    return $this;
}

Hi the downvoter, can you show your reason here? Have you try it before downvote. This works well from laravel4.1 ~ laravel5.5.
