Class 'Sentinel' not found (Laravel 4)

Question

I'm using Laravel 4 and rydurham/Sentinel ( https://cartalyst.com/manual/sentinel ). I'm able to log in users, register users and display the Sentinel views I've customized perfectly fine. The config changes I've made register fine. However, when I include:

{{ Sentinel::check() }}

or

{{ Sentinel::guest() }}

I get the error Class 'Sentinel' not found . I notice there is no Sentinel Facade in $aliases , and running composer dump-autoload does not fix this. Any thoughts?

The problem was that I'm using rydurham/Sentinel and not Cartalyst's Sentinel package. They are two different things. rydurham/Sentinel includes the facades for Sentry though, so you can use:

{{ Sentry::check() }}
{{ Sentry::guest() }}
