Eloquent error: A facade root has not been set

You have to change your code to:

$Capsule = new Capsule;
$Capsule->addConnection(config::get('database'));
$Capsule->setAsGlobal();  //this is important
$Capsule->bootEloquent();

And at the beginning of your class file you have to import:

use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as DB;

I have just solved this problem by uncommenting $app->withFacades(); in bootstrap/app.php
