Faker get streetAddress throwing ErrorException - laravel

Question

I'm building a laravel application, and I've created a FakerServiceProvider to populate factories for testing and local dev.
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Faker\Factory;
use Faker\Generator;
use Faker\Provider\en_GB\Address;
use Faker\Provider\en_GB\Person;
use Faker\Provider\en_GB\PhoneNumber;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Support\DeferrableProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
/**
* Class FakerServiceProvider
* #package App\Providers
*/
class FakerServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider implements DeferrableProvider
{
/**
*
*/
public function register()
{
$this->app->singleton(Generator::class, function ($app) {
$factory = Factory::create('en_GB');
$factory->addProvider(Person::class);
$factory->addProvider(Address::class);
$factory->addProvider(PhoneNumber::class);
return $factory;
});
}
/**
* #return array
*/
public function provides()
{
return [Generator::class];
}
}
I have created an address factory:
<?php
use App\Address;
use App\Country;
$factory->define(Address::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
return [
'line_1' => $faker->secondaryAddress,
'line_2' => $faker->streetAddress,
'town' => $faker->city,
'county' => $faker->county,
'country_id' => factory(Country::class)->make()->id,
'postcode' => $faker->postcode,
'phone' => $faker->phoneNumber,
];
});
When I try to use this factory I get the following error:
ErrorException: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, non-static method Faker\Provider\Address::streetAddress() should not be called statically
I have checked the source for the Faker library and there is a streetAddress method here
I have tried calling both $faker->streetAddress and $faker->streetAddress()with no luck. I would expect$faker->streetAddressto produce something like ` or something similar.
Can anyone shed a bit of light on this for me

Removing the added providers in the Faker Service Provider fixed the issue
