I'm developing a new laravel 5 application and I'm using eloquent relationships for the first time. I've stumbled upon an issue when creating a relationship.

I have a Purchase model and a User model.

Every purchase is mapped to a user id. So I have a method in the user model to fetch all purchases the user has made and I also have a method in the purchase model to fetch the user that made the purchase.

User:

public function purchases() {

	return $this->hasMany('Purchase');

}

Purchase:

public function customer()
{

	return $this->belongsTo('User');

}

Then in my controller when I call User::find(1)->purchases, I get class 'Purchase' not found and it's the same thing if I call Purchase::find(1)->customer, I get class 'User' not found. These models do exist as I can perform any other query with them.

Here is the schema for the purchases table:

Schema::create('purchases', function(Blueprint $table)
{
	$table->increments('id');
	$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();
	$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users');
	$table->string('package_id', 35);

	$table->timestamps();
});

Here's the controller that I'm testing it in:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Purchase;

use App\User;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Illuminate\Routing\Controller;

class HomeController extends Controller {

	public function getHome()
	{

		return Purchase::find(1)->customer;

	}

}

Note that I have included in the namespaces for these models. I need to know if I'm doing it right or if it's a bug with Illuminate/Database.
