How to inject the product factory dependancy in plugin? - magento

I am a new Magento 2 user and I'm trying to develop a plugin, but iv been stuck on this problem for the past 2 days. I am trying to programmatically add a new product to the Magento 2 database. For this, I figured out I need to inject de product factory dependency to my custom plugin but I have no clue how to do this. I see there is a di.xml file in most plugins so I'm guessing this stands for Dependency Injection and I need to add the relevant code here but have no idea as to how to do this.
I am trying to use the product factory in Controller/Adminhtml/Index/Index.php, this is my directory structure:
What do I need to write in di.xml to be able to get this dependency in Index's constructor?
This is my Index.php code:
<?php
namespace Sunoptic\Koppeling\Controller\Adminhtml\Index;
use Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory;
class Index extends \Magento\Backend\App\Action
{
private $_productFactory;
private $_productRepository;
public function __construct(\Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context, \Magento\Catalog\Api\Data\ProductInterfaceFactory $productFactory)
{
parent::__construct($context);
$this->_productFactory = $productFactory;
}
public function execute()
{
/** #var \Magento\Framework\Controller\Result\Raw $result */
$result = $this->resultFactory->create(ResultFactory::TYPE_RAW);
$string = "";
$result->setContents($string);
return $result;
}
}
This returns error 500 probably because of the dependency problem.
I expect this error but have no clue how to actually add this dependancy.

Run Below command
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
you need to Run this command every time new dependency is injected to any class through class or di.xml.
open debug mode so you can see error in any case.
php bin/magento setup:debug:mode developer

Laravel installation in sub-folder and horizon not working

I have installed the Laravel in sub-folder and is trying to install the horizon. After routing to "test.com/sub-folder/horizon", all the design in broken and also the internal links are pointing to main domain instead of main-domain-without-subfolder.
After the search, it seems to be the known issue which is already reported in github issue
Has there is any work around to make horizon work when Laravel is installed in sub-folder?
I have a solution that only involves PHP.
The issue, as pointed out by #Isaiahiroko, is the basePath defined for Horizon's interface. That code is in Laravel\Horizon\Http\Controllers\HomeController::index(). The idea is this: we are going to pass to Laravel's service container our own implementation of that controller that will override the basePath definition passed to Horizon's interface.
Create a new controller with code like this:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\App;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Laravel\Horizon\Horizon;
use Laravel\Horizon\Http\Controllers\HomeController;
class HorizonHomeController extends HomeController
{
/**
* Overrides default horizon route to support subdirectory hosting.
*/
public function index ()
{
// We use a plain request to check for the base url.
$request = request();
// Set up our base path.
$base_path = Str::substr($request->getBasePath(), 1);
if (!empty($base_path)) {
$base_path .= '/';
}
// Patch default horizon variables with our own base path.
$variables = Horizon::scriptVariables();
$variables['path'] = $base_path . config('horizon.path');
// Render horizon's home view.
return view('horizon::layout', [
'assetsAreCurrent' => Horizon::assetsAreCurrent(),
'horizonScriptVariables' => $variables,
'cssFile' => Horizon::$useDarkTheme ? 'app-dark.css' : 'app.css',
'isDownForMaintenance' => App::isDownForMaintenance(),
]);
}
}
What's left is telling Laravel's service container that when Horizon's HomeController is requested, it should provide our HorizonHomeController class. In your AppServiceProvider, at the end of the register() method, set this up:
// [...]
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
// [...]
/**
* Register any application services.
*
* #return void
* #throws InvalidConfiguration
*/
public function register()
{
// [...]
// Horizon's subdirectory hack
$this->app->bind(
Laravel\Horizon\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class,
App\Http\Controllers\HorizonHomeController::class
);
}
// [...]
}
After that, you should be able to browse to http(s)://<your-host>/<your-sub-dir>/horizon normally.
Considerations:
To me this feels cleaner that patching a compiled js, which also has the downside that needs to be re-applied every time Horizon is updated (this can be mitigated with a post-update script in composer, tho). Also, for additional points, this solution is only overriding the method that renders the view, but not the route, which means all of Horizon's authentication mechanisms (middlewares and gates) are working exactly as described in the documentation.
If you desperately need to do this, here is a hack:
In public\vendor\horizon\app.js, search for window.Horizon.basePath
replace window.Horizon.basePath="/"+window.Horizon.path; with window.Horizon.basePath="/[you sub-directoy]/"+window.Horizon.path;
It should work...until you run update one day and it mysteriously stop working.

count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable

I'm facing strange case. I face an error in production env not while in dev it's working fine.
Development:
Laravel 5.4.28
PHP 7.0.13
MYSQL 5.7.17
Production:
Laravel 5.4.28
PHP 7.2.1
MYSQL 5.7.20
In implementation code. I used:
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Artwork extends Model
{
use Searchable;
In development it works fine. But in production it gives me this error:
count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable
in Builder.php (line 936)
as you can see in this pic:
Any idea what is the reason behind this? and how to fix?
Put this code at the beginning of your route file, it will work fine
if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.2.0', '>=')) {
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_WARNING);
}
This is a documented change in PHP 7.2. You need to either update Laravel to 5.6 or downgrade PHP to version 7.1.
Replace
$originalWhereCount = count($query->wheres);
by
$originalWhereCount = count((array)$query->wheres);
in
\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder.php
I was facing similar issue in Laravel 5.6. Where I was getting error for object based array. I knew that data in that particular variable will always remain object so i used to convert the object to array. Here is code sample:
$objectData = (array)$objectData;
echo "Total Elements in array are: ".count($objectData);
My server was on PHP 7.1 when I updated to PHP 7.2 I got the same issue.
After searching I found why this occurs. (This occurs because of a PHP update.).
so in my case, the error is solved by typecasting.
I just update all code where I used to count
Before
//this is before
count($adminDetails)
After updated
//after update all i typecast all the code where i used count
count((array)$adminDetails)
Goodluck
This error occurs because you are using a higher PHP version and your Laravel application is on an older PHP version.
✅ Simple solution:
Open: app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
And in: public function register() { ... } function add following code:
if(version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.2.0', '>=')) {
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_WARNING);
}
In php 7.2+ count does not work on relation objects, you need to use:
$model->relation()->exists()
Not this (less than php 7.2):
count($model->relation)
i ran into the same problem (PHP 7.2 + Laravel 5.3) but i don't see any "good" answers here. For me, the problem occurs when i tried to start a Builder from a scope method on the model: SomeModel::forUser() calls scopeForUser(). Trying to build a new Query, it trips on a count($this->wheres) that gets no initial value (null). Because the magic static call to the scope starts the builder, no other conditions have been placed in the object so the property is still null at that point.
i thought it's worth sharing my solution first, then perspective on why i consider it better than Ben's answer. It's not personal, i just disagree.
Solution
i took a cue from this answer about overriding some of the core Illuminate\Database classes...
Extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
Mine is App\Overrides\Database\Eloquent\Model
Extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder
Mine is App\Overrides\Database\Eloquent\Builder
Extend Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder
Can you guess? App\Overrides\Database\Query\Builder
Tell Laravel to use YOUR Eloquent\Model:
config/app.php 'aliases' array, replace the 'Eloquent' value
with your Eloquent\Model FQN
My Model:
namespace App\Overrides\Database\Eloquent;
/*
* Notes:
* * Using replacement Query\Builder with ALIAS
* * Use of Builder in this class is MY Eloquent\Builder
*/
use App\Overrides\Database\Query\Builder as QueryBuilder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model as EloquentModel;
class Model extends EloquentModel
{
public function newEloquentBuilder($query)
{
return new Builder($query);
}
protected function newBaseQueryBuilder()
{
$conn = $this->getConnection();
$grammar = $conn->getQueryGrammar();
return new QueryBuilder($conn, $grammar, $conn->getPostProcessor());
}
}
My Eloquent\Builder:
namespace App\Overrides\Database\Eloquent;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder as EloquentBuilder;
class Builder extends EloquentBuilder
{
public function __construct($query)
{
parent::__construct($query);
/*
* FIX #1: Set properties treated AS arrays
* to empty arrays on construct.
*/
$this->wheres = [];
// Any other properties treated as arrays should also be initialized.
}
}
My Query\Builder:
namespace App\Overrides\Database\Query;
use Illuminate\Database\Query\Builder as QueryBuilder;
class Builder extends QueryBuilder
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct(...func_get_args());
/*
* FIX #2: Set properties treated AS arrays
* to empty arrays on construct.
*/
$this->wheres = [];
// Any other properties treated as arrays should also be initialized.
}
}
This safely preserves the framework's functionality, since the only actual change you're making is initializing properties that should have been in the first place. Everything else will pass instanceof checks used for dynamic loading and dependency injection.
Opinion
While i agree with #ben-harold about every comment he made saying "NEVER edit vendor code," i disagree with the "solution." It's an oversimplification to a much more complex problem.
Upgrade Laravel: to ensure support for PHP 7.2, jumping up several minor versions - if not major releases - is impractical for a lot of teams. As a long term objective, yes of course. As something i can do to get rid of the bug for my deadline? Nope. Upgrading takes a lot of planning and frequently a lot of rewrites as structures, names, and functionality change. It's something to prioritize, but not a need-it-now answer.
Downgrade PHP: same problem. Downgrading into PHP 5.x means A) PHP is EOL, which may be a deal breaker for a lot of customers who have security policies, and B) any usage of PHP 7.x language features have to be scrapped. As with upgrading the framework this is very likely to cause a lot of headaches. It's also an even less useful solution, since walking backward in the language just puts you farther behind and will require more long-term effort.
place the below line ob code before the class name in your controllers
if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '7.2.0', '>=')) {
// Ignores notices and reports all other kinds... and warnings
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_WARNING);
// error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_WARNING); // Maybe this is enough
}
I was facing the same issue with an external created table (Not using migration or command),
After creating the model, I just assigned a table name, but the problem was in my model protected $fillable where I assign string instead of array and error occurred.
There is 2 possible solution for that.
Assign an array to your protected $fillable = ['filed1', 'filed2'];
Remove protected $fillable completely (Not Recommended)
class Abc extends Model
{
protected $table = 'cities';
protected $fillable = ['field1','field2', ...];
}
Model looking for countable parameter:
class ClassName extend Model {
protected $fillable=['column_name']; // column in DB of Model is in array
}
Before
count($collection['colors'])
Error:Expected type 'Countable|array'. Found 'string'
After
count((array)$collection['colors'])
It works for me!
'vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Builder.php' to:
$originalWhereCount = is_array($query->wheres) ? count($query->wheres) : 0;
I;m using laravel 6.x
for this case you can use this way:
$id = \DB::table('xxxx')->where('id', $id)->count();
I Solve this in Laravel 5.6
// in controller
public function index()
{
$todos = Todo::all();
return view('todos.index')->with(['todos' => $todos]);
}
// in view page
#if(count($todos) > 0)
#foreach($todos as $todo)
<div class="well">
<h3>{{$todo->text}}</h3>
<span class="label label-danger">{{$todo->due}}</span>
</div>
#endforeach
#endif

Why won't this Laravel 5.4 service provider register?

I am trying to do a hello world service provider with the new Laravel 5.4.
I have created the following service provider file:
//File: app/TestProvider/TestServiceProvider.php
namespace App\TestProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class TestServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register bindings in the container.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind('Test', function ($app) {
return new Test();
});
}
}
I have created a simple class under the same namespace:
//File: app/TestProvider/Test.php
namespace App\TestProvider;
class Test
{
/**
* Register bindings in the container.
*
* #return void
*/
public function helloWorld()
{
echo "hello world";
}
}
The problem is, this is not registering. The register method is executing as when I put a breaker before the 'bind' method, it executes:
public function register()
{
dd("BREAKER");
$this->app->bind('Test', function ($app) {
return new Test();
});
}
So this outputs "BREAKER" as expected. However if I put the breaker in the closure, nothing happens which suggests for some reason, that 'bind' method isn't being executed??
Any ideas?
EDIT:
Just some further info: I know that the Test class is registered and in the correct namespace as I can do:
dd(new Test());
in the registration method, and it outputs the resource id as expected.
Explanation
The closure provided only runs when the binding is being resolved. That's why it's a closure, it can be saved in the service container and resolved at any time while the program runs.
Solution
To see the resolved binding, create a controller and resolve the class in that controller:
// File: app/Http/Controllers/TestController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
// This isn't the best way, but it works. See the best way below
class TestController extends Controller {
public function index()
{
return \App::make('Test')->helloWorld();
}
}
Of course, don't forget to register the route:
// File: routes/web.php
Route::get('/', 'TestController#index');
The binding will resolve when you hit the homepage.
However, as I said, it's not the best way, so here I prepared a better way. Change the way you register the binding:
// File: app/Providers/TestProvider.php
namespace App\TestProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use App\TestProvider\Test;
// Better way
class TestServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* Register bindings in the container.
*
* #return void
*/
public function register()
{
// Note: we bind the exact complete class name!
$this->app->bind(Test::class, function ($app) {
return new Test();
});
}
}
After this change the controller so that it looks like this:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\TestProvider\Test;
class TestController extends Controller {
/**
* #var Test $test
*/
private $test;
// Let Laravel resolve the dependency on constructing the class
public function __construct(Test $test)
{
$this->test = $test;
}
public function index()
{
return $this->test->helloWorld();
}
}
You will see that the exact same thing happens, but it looks more elegant and avoids conflicts.
Details
Laravel gives only a high level overview of the service container, which doesn't help to learn how it works on the inside. The best way to see that is to go down the call stack.
When you do that, you find that Laravel registers every class in the project in the service container. That means that whether you create a service provider or not, the class will be in the container. How exactly?
When you run php artisan optimize, Laravel creates files that have array with all the classes of the project. When you run the app, after registering everything from the service providers, Laravel registers the rest of the classes from that file.
That means that in your case, if you don't specifically register the Test class, it will still be resolvable. Basically, you only need to register classes that need some specific instructions to be resolved.
So how does Laravel resolve the dependencies?
When you run \App::make(Test::class) or inject dependency via type hinting in the constructor (the "better way" from my solution), Laravel looks for that dependency among the bindings.
When it finds the dependency, it resolves either the closure associated to it or the constructor of the class directly.
When it resolves the constructor directly, it looks for type hints among the constructor parameters and recursively resolves all of them until there's nothing else to resolve.
After that it returns the resolved class.
Of course, bear in mind that for Laravel to analyze the contructor of a class, it needs to be resolved via the service container in the first place. You can't just call $test = new Test(); and expect Laravel to do all the magic :)
Conclusion
This is a rather quick overview of Laravel's service container. The best way for you to learn it is, of course, studying the sources for yourself. It's truly elegant and it uses PHP's functionality to the fullest.
I really hope this shed some light on the service container for you and can help you in the future :)
The closure passed to the bind() method is not executed until you actually attempt to resolve the alias you are binding.
So, if you dd('breaker') inside the closure, this won't actually get executed until Test is resolved (whatever your preferred resolution method is):
Service provider:
// bind the closure to the 'Test' alias
public function register()
{
$this->app->bind('Test', function ($app) {
dd("BREAKER");
return new Test();
});
}
Code that resolve Test alias:
// different ways of resolving the alias out of the container.
// any of these will execute the bound closure.
$test = resolve('Test');
$test = app('Test');
$test = app()->make('Test');
$test = \App::make('Test');
try:
$this->app->bind(Test::class, function ($app) {
return new Test();
});

How to solve Unable to locate factory with name [default] [App\Models\Domain]?

I'm trying to add a Factory to help increment my test coverage on some controllers. I've been using Factories with no issues till now, where I find no reason for this message and I can't figure out what is different from the rest of the factories, which are working perfectly.
The error is:
1) GuestBusinessControllerTest::it_presents_a_domain_home
InvalidArgumentException: Unable to locate factory with name [default] [App\Models\Domain].
I reference the useful files as follows:
My Controller Test trying to use the Factory (Through a trait)
<?php
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\DatabaseTransactions;
class GuestBusinessControllerTest extends TestCase
{
use DatabaseTransactions;
use CreateBusiness, CreateDomain;
// ...

public function it_presents_a_domain_home()
{
$domain = $this->createDomain();
// ...
}
}

<?php
use App\Models\Domain;
trait CreateDomain
{
private function createDomain($overrides = [])
{
return factory(Domain::class)->create($overrides);
}
// ...
}
The factory definition
// ...

});
// ...
I'm using "laracasts/testdummy": "~2.0"
// ...
"require-dev": {
// ...
"laracasts/testdummy": "~2.0",
// ...
},
// ...
Sidenotes:
Yes, I did composer dump-autoload (Else, the error message would be different)
I tried to define the factory in another helper file, and dump-autoload. (Just in case)
I also tried renaming my model, thinking that Domain might be a conflicting keyword, but that seems not to be the issue.
How may I solve this error?
Found the problem
I was all the time thinking I was working with the file tests/factories/factories.php since I was using laracasts/testdummy.
It turns out (probably since the migration to L5.1, but not sure), I was now using database/factories/ModelFactory.php which I one day updated with my old factories, but never removed the tests/factories/factories.php and thus, editing it for new changes was worthless.
Now I've removed this file and kept a single factory file sticking to Laravel 5.1 solution out of the box.

Subclassing Migrator not working for namespaced migration

I have some namespaced migrations, and I can't get past the Class Not Found errors due to namespacing. In an earlier question, Antonio Carlos Ribeiro stated:
Laravel migrator doesn't play nice with namespaced migrations. Your best bet in this case is to subclass and substitute the Migrator class, like Christopher Pitt explains in his blog post: https://medium.com/laravel-4/6e75f99cdb0.
I have tried doing so (followed by composer dump-autoload, of course), but am continuing to receive Class Not Found errors. I've got the project files set up as
inetpub
|--appTruancy
|--database
|--2015_04_24_153942_truancy_create_districts.php
|--MigrationsServiceProvider.php
|--Migrator.php
The migration file itself is as follows:
<?php
namespace Truancy;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class TruancyCreateDistricts extends Migration {
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('districts', function($table) {
$table->string('id')->unique()->primary()->nullable(false);
$table->string('district');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::drop('districts');
}
}
Migrator.php is as follows:
namespace Truancy;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migrator as Base;
class Migrator extends Base{
/**
* Resolve a migration instance from a file.
*
* #param string $file
* #return object
*/
public function resolve($file)
{
$file = implode("_", array_slice(explode("_", $file), 4));
$class = "Truancy\\" . studly_case($file);
return new $class;
}
}
MigrationServiceProvider.php is as follows:
<?php
namespace Truancy;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class TruancyServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider{
public function register()
{
$this->app->bindShared(
"migrator",
function () {
return new Migrator(
$this->app->make("migration.repository"),
$this->app->make("db"),
$this->app->make("files")
);
}
);
}
}
The lines generated in autoload_classmap.php are as expected:
'Truancy\\Migrator' => $baseDir . '/appTruancy/database/migrations/Migrator.php',
'Truancy\\TruancyCreateDistricts' => $baseDir . '/appTruancy/database/migrations/2015_04_24_153942_truancy_create_districts.php',
'Truancy\\TruancyServiceProvider' => $baseDir . '/appTruancy/database/migrations/MigrationsServiceProvider.php'
I'm calling php artisan migrate --path="appTruancy/database/migrations" and I receive the error:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'TruancyCreateDistricts' not found in
C:\inetpub\laravel\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database
\Migrations\Migrator.php on line 297
I know I must be doing something dumb (my instinct is $class = "Truancy\\" . studly_case($file); in Migrator.php is wrong), but I can't unscrew this lightbulb. The migrate command is obviously successfully finding my migrations file, and the correct classname is in the classmap, so it has to be somewhere in the process of resolving the classname itself from the file, which the subclass and substitution is supposed to address. Any suggestions as to where I've gone wrong?
Ok, I've gotten this working. It turns out that the Medium.com article assumes you'd just know where to put the files he talks about, which I didn't. I've made several changes, and now everything is working correctly:
I created a new appTruancy\providers subfolder, and add it to composer.json
I moved both Migrator.php and MigrationServiceProvider.php into the new folder
I changed the namespace in both of those files to Truancy\Providers to match the directory structure
I added 'Truancy\Providers\MigrationsServiceProvider' to the providers array in appTruancy\config\app.php
I added a \ in front of Schema in the migration file to reference the base namespace.
I ran dump-autoload to update the classmap
This is one of those cases where I'm not 100% certain that all of the changes were required, but the layout does make sense so I'm happy with it. So, in a nutshell, if you're trying to namespace your migrations, you need to subclass the Migrator class as described in the Medium.com article listed above, but you then need to register the service provider in config\app, making sure the class names in both files are consistent.
