$exception instanceof AuthenticationException not working as expected

Hi, guys. I am new to Laravel. Just installed 5.5 and try to catch the AuthenticationException in App\Exceptions\Handler like below


public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
    if ($exception instanceof AuthenticationException) {
        //Do something
    }
}

The problem is ($exception instanceof AuthenticationException) always return false.

dd($exception instanceof AuthenticationException) //return false.

When I dd($exception) I got


AuthenticationException{
    #gurad...
    ....
    .....
}

get_class($exception) return \Illuminate\Auth\AuthenticationException


However,  
dd($exception instanceof Exception) //return true.
Please help. Thanks.

Are you importing AuthenticationException at the top of your handler?


use Illuminate\Auth\AuthenticationException;
