I have recently upgraded a Laravel 5.1 app to 5.2. This was working fine before but since the upgrade I am experiencing an issue. When I try to delete one of my models I get the following exception:
FatalErrorException in Model.php line 1011:
Class name must be a valid object or a string
The URL I am visiting is:
/admin/roles/delete/4
The route for it is:
Route::get('admin/roles/delete/{id}', ['as' => 'admin.roles.delete', 'uses' => 'Admin\RolesController@destroy']);
The controller code is:
public function destroy($id)
{
$role = Role::find($id);
$role->delete();
Session::flash('message', '<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">The role has been deleted.</div>');
return redirect(route('admin.roles'));
}
The model code is:
<?php namespace App;
use Zizaco\Entrust\EntrustRole;
class Role extends EntrustRole
{
protected $fillable = ['name', 'display_name', 'description'];
}
It's probably worth mentioning I'm using the Entrust package. This is the content of my entrust config file:
<?php
/**

* a role & permission management solution for Laravel.
