Laravel namespace confusion

Question

I am trying to use this package:

https://github.com/VentureCraft/revisionable

But I get:

Fatal error: Class 'Auth' not found in /var/www/html/selection/vendor/venturecraft/revisionable/src/Venturecraft/Revisionable/RevisionableTrait.php

and the same for DB.

In the code he uses \

\DB::table($revision->getTable())->insert($revisions);

If I add a use to the Facade and ditch the \ it works.

Why is this happening and is there a way to fix it, without modifying the package?

Further Information.

The problem is happening in this trait:

I am trying to use in my model , as described in the instructions:

class Record extends Model

{
    use \Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait;

I guess the problem is that \DB isn't working. Should it work without a use?

Here is my Model:

namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\SoftDeletes;
use Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait;

//use Venturecraft\Revisionable\RevisionableTrait;


class Record extends Model

{
use RevisionableTrait;

    use SoftDeletes;

    //make these instances of Carbon
    protected $dates = [
        'created_at',
        'updated_at',
        'deleted_at',
        'date_selected'
    ];

    /**
     * Fillable fields
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = array('product_id', 'best', 'seconds', 'pitched', 'area_id', 'user_id', 'date_selected','selector_id');


    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
    }

}

Just as a test, I tried to use \DB in my controller and I get: Class 'DB' not found in 255 Should this work?

Working now, my app.php was corrupt. :-(
