symfony and ratchet Call to a member function get() on null


I using symfony and ratchet web socket to connect to database and changing value in a certain column if someone connect to the server but I get error in this line

        $conn = $this->get('database_connection');

Call to a member function get() on null

my services.yml file

services:
     checkrooms.example:
         class: check\roomsBundle\Sockets\Chat
         arguments: ["@database_connection"]
         calls:
             - [setContainer, ['@service_container']]

my Chat.php code

    namespace check\roomsBundle\Sockets;
    use tuto\testBundle\Entity\Users;
    use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
    use Ratchet\MessageComponentInterface;
    use Ratchet\ConnectionInterface; 


    class Chat extends Controller implements MessageComponentInterface  {
        protected $clients;
        public function __construct() {
            $this->clients = new \SplObjectStorage;

        }



        public function onOpen(ConnectionInterface $conn) {
            $this->clients->attach($conn);
    //database part
            echo "New connection! ({$conn->resourceId})\n";
            $conn = $this->get('database_connection');
            $users = $conn->query("UPDATE user SET Batman= '1999' WHERE UserId='2'");



        }

}

Solution

  • You have to use:

    $this->container->get('database_connection');
    

    because you call method setContainer and it looks like this:

        public function setContainer(ContainerInterface $container = null)
    {
        $this->container = $container;
    }

    $this->get() is a shortcut only, you can use it if you extend base controller:

      protected function get($id)
    {
        return $this->container->get($id);
    }
