Symfony2 Entity method called in repository class

Question

How can I call method from entity class in repository class. I had tried to do something like this, but no success.

class ProfileConnectionsListRepository extends EntityRepository
{
       public function connectionUserNames($userId)
       {
           $connections = $this->_em
               ->findOneBy(array('user1Id' => $userId))
               ->getUser2Id();
       }
}

so if this is invalid can do something like that on doctrine way without using raw queries.

Check the result of findOneBy. It should be your entity, but maybe also NULL if no user with the given ID was found. — feeela

What is result of $this->_em->findOneBy(array('user1Id' => $userId));? — Tomas Votruba

What do you mean by no success? What does $this->_em ->findOneBy(array('user1Id' => $userId)) give you? — Adib Aroui

You might need to get repository first.

$connections = $this->_em
   ->getRepository(UserEntity::class)
   ->findOneBy(array('user1Id' => $userId))
   ->getUser2Id();
