InstallData.php not executing on Magento 2.2.1

Question

I have the following InstallData.php in my Setup directory in my module. The script does not seem to execute at all. I have tried throwing an Exception at the beginning, dumping and dying, etc. Nothing seems to stop the script or output and information while running setup:upgrade.

NB: I have removed the module's row from the setup_module table before each run. I've also tried with EavSetupFactory - no luck there either.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

        $setup->endSetup();

try this code.

<?php
namespace Tridum\Thumbnail\Setup;

use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;

class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{

    private $eavSetupFactory;


    public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory)
    {
        $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;  
    }

    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $setup->startSetup();
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);

        $eavSetup->addAttribute(
            \Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY,
            'thumbnail',
            [
                 'group'        => 'General Information',
                 'label'        => 'Category Thumbnail',
                 'type'         => 'varchar',
                 'input'        => 'image',
                 'required'     => false,
                 'sort_order'   => 9,
                 'backend'      => '\Magento\Catalog\Model\Category\Attribute\Backend\Image',
                 'global'       => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
            ]
        );

        $setup->endSetup();
    }
}
