Thank you!

I found myself here searching for the same exception after I changed a type's name without clearing file cache (existing attributes were cached with the old type name). Maybe it would be helpful to identify this problem in the package and throw an exception with a clear message, rather than letting the bug trickle down and get thrown as a confusing exception in Eloquent.
