Magento2 - Custom Controller throws error

Question

I created a module shown in this post. But my own controller doesn't work. I've got this error message:

Recoverable Error: Argument 1 passed to MP\MyModule\Controller\Index\CheckUserName::__construct() must be an instance of Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context, instance of Magento\Framework\ObjectManager\ObjectManager given, called in D:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\vendor\magento\framework\ObjectManager\Factory\AbstractFactory.php on line 97 and defined in D:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\app\code\mp\MyModule\Controller\Index\CheckUserName.php on line 35

Here is my controller code:

<?php
namespace MP\MyModule\Controller\Index;

class CheckUserName extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{
    protected $_logger;
    protected $_objectManager;
    protected $_request;

/*
            \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger, //log injection
            \Magento\Framework\App\Request\Http $request

        $this->_logger = $logger;

        $this->_logger->debug('CheckUserName_Constructor_Begin');

        $this->_request = $request;

        $this->_logger->debug('CheckUserName_Constructor_End');     


        */  

        /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory
     */
    protected $resultPageFactory;

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context
     * @param \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory resultPageFactory
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory
    )
    {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
    }

    public function execute()
    {
        echo "Hello from Checkusername";
    }    
}
 ?>

Here're the error messages after deleting the var/generation folder:

Answer 1

After deploying the module on a new CentOS dev environment, remove the var/di and var/generation folders and recompile di, it works. Before that I used an Win Xampp environment. That causes a lot of trouble...

Answer 2

I ran into the same issue. After few hours of pointless debugging and banging my head from the wall i came up with a solution that worked well for me.

In the end i renamed all action file names and class names from camel-case i.e.

From:

D:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\app\code\mp\MyModule\Controller\Index\CheckUserName.php

<?php
namespace MP\MyModule\Controller\Index;

class CheckUserName extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action {
...
}

To:

D:\xampp\htdocs\magento2\app\code\mp\MyModule\Controller\Index\Checkusername.php

class Checkusername extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action {
...
}

Answer 3

From your Magento root directory run following command:

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

This will compile the Dependency Injection (DI) again and, your issue will go away.

Answer 4

Your controller CheckUserName.php file look like below

MP/MyModule/Controller/Index/CheckUserName.php

<?php
namespace MP\MyModule\Controller\Index;

class CheckUserName extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action
{

    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory
     */
    protected $resultPageFactory;

    /**
     * @param \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context
     * @param \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory resultPageFactory
     */
    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory $resultPageFactory
    )
    {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
    }

    public function execute()
    {
        echo "Hello from Check username";
    }

}

clear the cache.

after that you can access your controller by using below URL

http://192.168.0.52/m2ee/my_module/index/CheckUserName/ or http://192.168.0.52/m2ee/index.php/my_module/index/CheckUserName/

Note: my_module is my module front name you can replace your front name here.

see below pic My side it's working

let me know if it's not working.
