symfony2 method undefined in EntityRepository - php

Question

i want create a request from my EntityRepository so this is my code:
<?php
namespace zhr\myprojectBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
/**
* myprojectdbEntityRepository
*
* This class was generated by the Doctrine ORM. Add your own custom
* repository methods below.
*/
class myprojectdbEntityRepository extends EntityRepository
{
public function getAll()
{
$qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('s');
$query = $qb;
$result = $qb->getQuery()->execute();
}
}
i want use it in my controller file so this is my code:
public function searchusersAction(Request $request)
{
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repository = $em->getRepository('myprojectBundle:User');
$utilisateur = $repository->getAll();
var_dump($utilisateur); die();
//return $this->render('mypageBundle:Admin:adminindex.html.twig', array('sheet'=>$utilisateur));
}
i get a error:
Undefined method 'getAll'. The method name must start with either findBy or findOneBy!
??? normaly all methode in repository file must be defined in my controller file no ?
thanks first guys

Answer 1

You have to use getResult() to return a result as follow:
public function getAll()
{
return $this->createQueryBuilder('s')->getQuery()->getResult();
}
But you really don't need this kind of function since EntityRepository class already has findAll() function to get all rows from an entity:
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$rows = $em->getRepository('myprojectBundle:User')->findAll();
I suggest you to check documentation for QueryBuilder and EntityRepository api.
