Sonataadminbundle: Autowiring does not work with Sonata Admin

[spacetraveller]

If you have autowiring turned on, there are failures in the Abstract Admin class.

Cannot autowire service "AppBundle\Admin\SomeAdmin": argument "$code" of method "Sonata\AdminBundle\Admin\AbstractAdmin::__construct()" must have a type-hint or be given a value explicitly.

Is there any way around this, if autowiring is being used?

Hi jlamur,

I didn't find a solution, so decided against using Sonata Admin for this project, unfortunately. I've used it on other projects, but did not make use of autowiring.

To reproduce it, I believe all you need to do is have autowiring on a service. So create a service class, and autowire it in the class as so:
public function __construct(EntityManager $em, ContainerInterface $container)
{
$this->em = $em;
$this->container = $container;
}

Sonata Admin starts to throw errors when this method is used in Symfony 3.3

I think the original problem with autowiring an admin class is that the arguments are all string arguments and autowiring is not able to resolve the constructor arguments.

How I solved it:

I had:

_defaults:
  public:true

I had to change it to:

_defaults:
  public:false

and then make each the required service public:true individually.
