Magento2 Creating a CRON job to export all the sales/order data

Question

Trying to create a cron job to export order details: amount, total number of orders, order created time. etc. Below is the cron file. On executing this I get error

<?php

namespace Vendor_Name\Salesverification\Cron;

class Salesverification extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action

{

protected $logger;

protected $_order;

protected $resultPageFactory;

public function __construct(
    \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $loggerInterface,

    \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
    \Magento\Sales\Model\Order $_order, // <-- new line 
    \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory
) {
    $this->logger = $loggerInterface;

    parent::__construct($context);
    $this->_order = $_order; // <-- new line
    $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
}

public function execute() {
    $_orderId = 1; 
    // Order Id here or the variable that you plan on using 
    // to specify it. You could pass it by using: 
    // $this->getRequest()->getParam('id', 0)

    /** @var $_order \Magento\Sales\Model\Order  */
    $_order = $this->_order->load($_orderId);

    // Get all items from your order
    $_items = $_order->getAllItems();

    // Iterate through all of the items in the order
    foreach ($_items as $_item) {

        // Get sku, item_id and price
        $_orderItems[] = [
            'sku' => $_item->getSku(),
            'item_id' => $_item->getId(),
            'price' => $_item->getPrice(),
        ];

    }

  return $this->resultPageFactory->create(); 
 }
}

I was checking for atleast one order if this works then could make this work for all the orders but am getting the below error.

On executing the above file I get following error.

Answer 1

In Magento1 for to filter order by date range we could use filter with 'from' and 'to'

 $orders = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('created_at', array('from'=>$fromDate, 'to'=>$toDate))

In Magento2, I could figure out the following way to complete my task

<?php

namespace Corra\Salesverification\Cron;

class Salesverification
{
/**
 * @var \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface
 */
protected $logger;
/**
 * @var \Magento\Framework\App\State
 */
protected $state;

 /**
 * @var \Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order\Collection
 */
protected $_OrderCollection;


public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\App\State $state,
    \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $loggerInterface,
    \Magento\Sales\Model\ResourceModel\Order\Collection $_OrderCollection
) {
    $this->logger = $loggerInterface;
    $this->_OrderCollection = $_OrderCollection;
    $state->setAreaCode('frontend');
}

public function execute() {
    $from = "2017-02-13";
    $to = '2017-02-14';

    echo "<pre>";
    $collection = $this->_OrderCollection;
    $collection
    ->addFieldToFilter('created_at', array('gteq' => $from))
    ->addFieldToFilter('created_at', array('lteq' => $to));         

     print_r($collection->getData());

}
}
