[TYPO3-mvc] findBy[Property] problems

[Lorenz Ulrich]

Hi there

Seems to be a pretty rough way for me to get into the extbase flow :-).

I have an extension with an addressRepository that uses the tt_address 
table. Saving new addresses works fine.

But when inserting a new address I would like to check if it's a 
duplicate. So I use this magic findBy[property] method:

$existing = $this->addressRepository->findByEmail('mail at dress.com')

But the only thing I get back is the following warning:

You should never see this warning. If you do, you probably used PHP 
array functions like current() on the 
Tx_Extbase_Persistence_QueryResult. To retrieve the first result, you 
can use the getFirst() method.

The problem is that I don't use any PHP array functions, just built-in 
Extbase stuff.

This happens on TYPO3 4.6dev, storagePid is set. In TYPO3 4.3 the same 
code worked fine.

I followed your advice to use the DI instead of makeInstance for the 
addressRepository but it had no effect.

If anyone has an idea what I could be doing wrong, let me know :-).


Thanks and regards,


Lorenz
