Trying to get users with their respective role but returns Class 'Role' not found

Question

I'm on Laravel 5.4 and using Zizaco Entrust to handle roles and permissions in my app and I'm trying to pull all users that has a role of 'user' but it returns me this error

(1/1) FatalErrorException

Class 'Role' not found in

HasRelationships.php (line 487)

and here's my query

use App\User; //declare user model

$customer = User::with('roles')->get();

and my User model

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

use Zizaco\Entrust\Traits\EntrustUserTrait;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use EntrustUserTrait;
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'username', 'email', 'password', 'real_password', 'first_name'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token', 'real_password'
    ];

    public function roles()
    {
        return $this->belongsToMany('Role','assigned_roles');
    }

}

the role model

<?php

namespace App;

use Zizaco\Entrust\EntrustRole;

class Role extends EntrustRole
{

}

and the entrust config

<?php

/**
 * This file is part of Entrust,
 * a role & permission management solution for Laravel.

 * @package Zizaco\Entrust

Any ideas, help please?

Answer 1

Ensure package has an entry in composer.json.

Check that the service provider is registered.

Then, regenerate autoload class map by running:

composer dump-autoload
