Magento 2 generates Factory classes inside var/generation directory. So, if there is folder permission issue or folder owner issue with that directory then the factory class cannot be generated and you get such error.

When you clear var/generation directory and set appropriate permission to it then this error should be solved.

See more on Code generation in Magento 2

For me, i removed var/generation folder then i ran magento setup:di:compile which generated all necessary classes.

(in my case : Then i was encountered with cache issue, i removed initial cache folder.)

Then it solved my issue. Cheers !!

In magento new versions like 2.2.2 and above this code generation path changed to

<Magento root folder>/generated

so you need to check permissions for this folder as well. You need to run following command at the root of Magento installation directory will resolve this issue:

sudo chmod -R 777 generated/

Definitely permissions within 'var/generation' folder.

It's just var folder permission issue. in CLI mode follow the following command

sudo chmod -R 777 var/

Magento 2 creates the factory classes in the var/generation folder and if you add a new parameter in your __construct() and it's Factory class does not exists then Magento 2 throws the above error message. Even though there are few solutions give already for you question, i can suggest you another solution which does not require you to clear your generation folder. Please use the below command after any change is made related to Factory classes:

bin/magento setup:di:compile

This command can be more useful on production server.

The following commands are needed to be executed:

sudo php -f bin/magento setup:di:compile 



sudo rm -rf pub/static/*/*; sudo rm -rf var/*/*; 

sudo php -f bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f  



sudo php bin/magento cache:clean

Also, proper permission is needed. If on production, you need to execute proper permissions. But, on local machine, you can run full permission:

sudo chmod -R 777 *

Class ...Factory does not exist means your model class not loaded.
As Magento 2 based on modular programming so we need to specify the model class where we want to use explicitly.
We can use our model class in two types:

1.by "use"

use MagentoCustomerSetupCustomerSetupFactory;



public function __construct(CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory)

{

    $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;

}

2. 
   

   Directly

   
   
   

   public function __construct(MagentoCustomerSetupCustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory){
   
   
   
   $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;
   
   
   
   }
   
   

   
   

When you hit the URL(http://domain.com/your module frontname) of your plugin on browser than the Magento generate the code for your module as below:

vargenerationYour Vendor DirectoryYour Module DirectoryController

vargenerationYour Vendor DirectoryYour Module DirectoryModel

In your case you need to check the "CustomerFactory" and "OrderFactory" is used as above format or not.
