Defining Database Schema in Laravel Eloquent (db.schema error)

I am integrating Laravel ORM into a framework and am stuck at the error "Target class [db.schema] does not exist.". I am using the following code:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as DB;
use \Illuminate\Container\Container as Container;
use \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

/**
* Setup a new app instance container
* 
* @var Illuminate\Container\Container
*/
$app = new Container();
$app->singleton('app', 'Illuminate\Container\Container');

/**
* Set \$app as FacadeApplication handler
*/
Facade::setFacadeApplication($app); 

Error is called before here, the below is just for reference.

$capsule = new DB;

$conn = $capsule->addConnection([
    'driver'    => 'mysql',
    'host'      => '127.0.0.1',
    'database'  => 'yf_testing',
    'username'  => 'yf_testing',
    'password'  => 'xxxxxx',
    'charset'   => 'utf8mb4',
    'collation' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
    'prefix'    => '',
]);

// Make this Capsule instance available globally via static methods... (optional)
$capsule->setAsGlobal();

// Setup the Eloquent ORM... (optional; unless you've used setEventDispatcher())
$capsule->bootEloquent();

$schema = $capsule->schema('default');

The error seems to suggest db.schema needs setting up but I don't know Laravel well enough to determine where I am to do this.

Can anyone help?

The stack trace is below:

I have tried various combinations of the code (it is quite amazing to see how things change) I just don't know their relevance or enough to say what the problem is.

I needed to do this:

$conn = $app['db']->getConnection()->setSchemaGrammar(new \Illuminate\Database\Schema\Grammars\MySqlGrammar());
