[TYPO3-mvc] ItemsRepository: Fatal error: Call to a member function createQuery()

[Muriel le Pair]

Hi,

My ItemsRepository looks like this:

class ItemsRepository extends \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\Repository {
	
	/**
	 * Find top 5
	 *
	 * @return \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\QueryInterface
	 */
	public function findTop5() {
		$query = $this->itemsRepository->createQuery();
		$query->matching($query->equals('top5', 1));
		$query->setLimit(5);
		$query->execute();
		
		return $query;
	}
}

When I run the code below, I get a Fatal error: Call to a member 
function createQuery()

class ItemsController extends 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController {
	/**
	 * action listTop5
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function listTop5Action() {
		$itemss = $this->itemsRepository->findTop5();
		$this->view->assign('itemss', $itemss);
	}
}

But when I insert the code directly to the ItemsController it works fine.

class ItemsController extends 
\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Mvc\Controller\ActionController {
	
	/**
	 * action listTop5
	 *
	 * @return void
	 */
	public function listTop5Action() {
		
		$query = $this->itemsRepository->createQuery();
		$query->matching($query->equals('top5', 1));
		$query->setLimit(5);
		$itemss = $query->execute();
		
	}
}

The odd thing is that it works in another extension.
So what am I doing wrong?
