Class not found with Laravel 3 and Composer

Question

I am attempting to use the php-resque composer package via artisan. I believe Laravel is v3.2.7. When running the command php artisan queue I get the error:

Error

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Resque' not found in /var/www/dev/application/tasks/queue.php on line 20

Fatal error: Class 'Resque' not found in /var/www/dev/application/tasks/queue.php on line 20

What seems to be the problem here? The php-resque package appears to have been installed to the vendor directory...

PHP (queue.php)

class Queue_Task
{
    public function run()
    {

        // Autoload composer vendors.
        require path('composer').DS.'autoload.php';

        // You can pass arguments into the worker as payload
        $args = array('name' => 'John Smith');
        Resque::enqueue('testqueue', 'ExampleWorker', $args);

        echo "Resque job queued.\n";
        return;
    }
}

Youre missing a DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR for your composer path.
