how do i inject a repository to CommandController

Question

I got a commandController like this (using TYPO3 6.1):

class MyCommandController extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\CommandController {
    /**
     * fileRepository
     *
     * @var \VENDOR\MyExt\Domain\Repository\FileRepository
     * @inject
     */
    protected $fileRepository;
}

but when i try cast

$this->fileRepository->findAll();

i get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function findAll() on a non-object in

looks like the repostory is not autoinjected with @inject like it is in ActionControllers.

How do i inject the repository manually?

Answer 1

you can inject repositories in your commandcontroller. after adding a @inject in your doccomments you have to delete the cache and/or the cachefiles?

Answer 2

Indeed, you need to clear the caches. Apparently in my case on Typo3 6.2 it only worked when I cleared the caches from the Install tool.

Note: I got this tip after reading a blog post on scripting-base.de (in German).
