I'm trying to make use of Laravel 4 Administrator's Global Actions ('global_actions' array) in the config for one of my tables, and regardless of what method I call, I get the dreaded:

local.ERROR: exception 'BadMethodCallException' with message 'Call to undefined method Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder::doNothing()' in C:\xampp\htdocs\tikitour\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder.php:2117 Stack trace:

The config array is below, the 'permission' property works just fine, and I now have it so the doNothing() method just returns true:

'global_actions' => array( //Importing data via xls upload 'use_upload' => array( 'title' => 'Use Upload', 'messages' => array( 'active' => 'Uploading...', 'success' => 'Uploaded', 'error' => 'There was an error while Uploading', ), 'permission' => function($model) {
return $model->hasUpload();
}, //the model is passed to the closure 'action' => function($model) {

            $model->doNothing();                               
        }
    ),

),

Most importantly, this works perfect outside of administrator. It would seem like the methods of the model have to be somehow registered with Illuminate, but I don't think that's the case since ->hasUpload() is recognized and works fine.
