php - Symfony 2 EntityManager injection in service

Question

I've created my own service and I need to inject doctrine EntityManager, but I don't see that __construct() is called on my service, and injection doesn't work.

Here is the code and configs:

<?php

namespace TestCommonBundleServices;
use DoctrineORMEntityManager;

class UserService {

    /**
     *
     * @var EntityManager 
     */
    protected $em;

    public function __constructor(EntityManager $entityManager)
    {
        var_dump($entityManager);
        exit(); // I've never saw it happen, looks like constructor never called
        $this->em = $entityManager;
    }

    public function getUser($userId){
       var_dump($this->em ); // outputs null  
    }

}

Here is services.yml in my bundle

services:
  test.common.userservice:
    class:  TestCommonBundleServicesUserService
    arguments: 
        entityManager: "@doctrine.orm.entity_manager"

I've imported that .yml in config.yml in my app like that

imports:
    # a few lines skipped, not relevant here, i think
    - { resource: "@TestCommonBundle/Resources/config/services.yml" }

And when I call service in controller

    $userservice = $this->get('test.common.userservice');
    $userservice->getUser(123);

I get an object (not null), but $this->em in UserService is null, and as I already mentioned, constructor on UserService has never been called

One more thing, Controller and UserService are in different bundles (I really need that to keep project organized), but still: everyting else works fine, I can even call

$this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')

in same controller that I use to get UserService and get valid (not null) EntityManager object.

Look like that I'm missing piece of configuration or some link between UserService and Doctrine config.

Your class's constructor method should be called __construct(), not __constructor():

public function __construct(EntityManager $entityManager)
{
    $this->em = $entityManager;
}
