Symfony Finder - "The "1" directory does not existf

so I have a file (just a basic text file) that I want to read in to my Controller so I can display the output on a twig page. My code (in my controller) is as follows:

use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;

...

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->in($finder->in(__DIR__.'/../BusinessLogic'));

  foreach ($finder as $file) {
    $contents = $file->getContents();
  }
//return etc

given that the controller is in src/Controller and the file I want to access is in src/BusinessLogic this should work, but it comes up with an error page saying the "1" directory does not exist (InvalidArgumentException). As far as I can see it should be valid.

PS does anyone know how to access a specific file, rather than just searching a folder? docs weren't very clear.

Solution

  • $finder->in(...) return $this.

    So replace

    $finder->files()->in($finder->in(__DIR__.'/../BusinessLogic'));

    by

    $finder->files()->in(__DIR__.'/../BusinessLogic');
