autowire Predis Interface in symfony - php

Question

i wanna use ClientInterface in my class constructor and i give an error :
Cannot autowire service "App\Service\DelayReportService": argument "$client" of method "__construct()" references interface "Predis\ClientInterface" but no such service exists. Did you create a class that implements this interface?
seems to be i should add it manually to services.yml i added it like :
Predis\ClientInterface: '#Predis\Client'
and now i give this error:
You have requested a non-existent service "Predis\Client".
what is the solution and why symfony itself dont handle it?

Answer 1

you seem to be confused about how to define a service... which isn't surprising tbh
look here
https://symfony.com/doc/5.4/service_container.html#explicitly-configuring-services-and-arguments
for example
services:
App\Service\Concerns\IDevJobService:
class: App\Tests\Service\TestDevJobService
autowire: true
public: true
where
IDevJobService is an INTERFACE
and
TestDevJobService
is the actual implementation that will be auto injected
using # inside the yaml files is done to reference a service that has already been defined ELSEWHERE
https://symfony.com/doc/5.4/service_container.html#service-parameters
you probably want to watch symfonycasts services tutorial (I am not affiliated and I havent watched it myself yet (sure wish I did)).
EDIT
Predis\Client is a 3rd party class. It isn't in your App namespace or in your src folder. Symfony checks the src folder for class that it will then make to a service. See services.yaml there is a comment there, look for exclude and resource. And I'm not sure, even if you autoload it, that you can then just do #Predis\Client to reference an existing service.
be sure as well to debug your config using
php bin/console debug:autowiring
under linux you could do as well php bin/console debug:autowiring | grep Predis to find it more quickly (if it is there at all)
