Did you try to create a new class like this?
new \Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint('test', function () {;
});
Note: you can find the underlying facade classes in the documentation: http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/facades

[LUMEN] Migration class without facades
I am actually giving the Laravel Lumen micro framework a try, and I have this question. How would you access the underlying Schema facade's instance of Blueprint if you don't want to enable Facades?
The concrete Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration file does only provide a getConnection method, which doesn't allow us a quick and clean access to Blueprint instances.
I also note that there is no way to inject dependencies into the Migration classes, as the up and down methods are called without any arguments and not resolved from the container, and the class constructor is not resolved from the container either.
Does anyone have a nice implementation of migration classes not actually using the facades?

Bedankt bobby,
But I would still need to resolve the connection from the database manager, pass it in, etc, etc.
I feel like the application should be injected in the Migration class, so we can resolve instances from the container. What do you think ?

I haven't had the change to work with Lumen that much to know much about it. Is there a reason you don't want to enable the facades? Maybe it could be speed
I know Lumen loads this function to get all the facades, you can try to implement this yourself so you would only enable the facades you need: https://github.com/laravel/lumen-framework/blob/5.0/src/Application.php#L758

Thank's for your time @bobbybouwmann , I ended up making a pull request to automatically inject the connection in the migrations: https://github.com/laravel/framework/pull/8634
