Can't get Laravel relationship to work - laravel

Question

I dont know what I'm doing wrong today, I can't get a 1-N relationship to work in Laravel 4. I'm trying to describe soccer teams that have many players.
I have a "players.team_id" field. I double-checked the database, the datas are OK.
First model :
class Team extends Eloquent {
public function players() {
return $this->hasMany('Player');
}
}
Second model :
class Player extends Eloquent {
function team() {
return $this->belongsTo('Team');
}
}
In my controllers, I can use $player->team but $team->players always retunrs null.
If I try to var_dump $team->players() (I should see the relationship description), it returns an error :
Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::players()
This is what my controller looks like :
class HomeController extends BaseController {
public function showTeam($slug) {
$team = Team::where('slug','=',$slug)->first();
// this works fine
$player = Player::find(1);
var_dump($player->team);
// this works, too.
$players = Player::where('team_id','=',516)->get();
var_dump($players);
$team = Team::where('slug','=',$slug)->first();
var_dump($team->players); // returns null
var_dump($team->players()); // throws an error
return View::make('team')
->with('team', $team);
}
}
Any leads ? Thank you very much !

I found the bug thanks to Quasdunk comment.
composer dump-auto
told me that I had twice the "Team" class.
Warning: Ambiguous class resolution
I copy/pasted a model file and forgot to change the class name in it. The problem was solved after I renamed this class.
