Using Tinker with OctoberCMS

Question

I am new to Laravel and OctoberCMS,

i would like to run tinker, so I navigate to my root directory where my OctoberCMS Instance is and the artisan file is located

I then enter in the Terminal the following command:

php artisan tinker

and i get the following error:

[ErrorException] The use statement with non-compound name 'BackendAuth' has no effect

Any suggestions to resolve this or tell me what I am doing wrong would be welcome.

It appears that I had a reference where the namespace was not explicit into my routes.php file of a custom plugin.

use BackendAuth;

when I made the reference explicit I was able to get Artisan to work without issue.

use Backend\Facades\BackendAuth;
