Using Bundles in Laravel Migrations

Question

I want to use sentry 1.x with Laravel 3.x in the migrations I use, but when I try to migrate I get this error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'Sentry' not found in /var/www/laravel.dev/application/migrations/2013_03_06_183713_add_user_to_database.php on line 34

This is what I try to do in function up():

$user_id = Sentry::user()->create(array(
    'email' => 'admin@test.com',
    'password' => 'testpass',
    'metadata' => array(
    'first_name' => 'Test',
    'last_name' => 'Test'
    )
));

What am I missing ?

p.s: I know having the password in PHP is insecure, this is just a test environment.

Thanks,

Answer 1

Add 'Cartalyst\Sentry\SentryServiceProvider' to the list of service providers in app/config/app.php

You need to start the bundle.

Bundle::start( 'sentry' );
