Laravel 5.x - Not able to use Modal::method() inside Model's Controller -

in 1 controller works:

$vehicles = vehicle::find(1)->toarray(); 

but, in controller created doesn't:

$vehicles = region::find(1)->toarray(); 

it says:

fatalerrorexception in regioncontroller.php line 21: class 'app\region' not found 

but i'm including similar classes:

namespace app\http\controllers;  use illuminate\http\request; use illuminate\support\facades\auth;  use db; use app\vehicle; use app\http\requests; use app\http\requests\vehiclerequest; use app\http\controllers\controller;  class vehiclecontroller extends controller 

versus:

namespace app\http\controllers;  use illuminate\http\request;  use db; use app\region; use app\http\requests; use app\http\controllers\controller;  class regioncontroller extends controller 

and works if replace original code it:

$regions = db::table('regions')->where('id', '=', 1)->get(); 

i created them both same way using artisan, , added use app\modelname, not sure needs done in order able use region::method(). ideas happening?

your declarations seem accurate. run ff in project's root directory:

composer dumpautoload
