You have injected the EntityManager via parameter $entityManager. This is generally not recommended as it might get closed and become unusable. Instead, it is recommended to inject the ManagerRegistry and retrieve the EntityManager via getManager() each time you need it.
The EntityManager might become unusable for example if a transaction is
rolled back and it gets closed. Let’s assume that somewhere in your application,
or in a third-party library, there is code such as the following:
functionsomeFunction(ManagerRegistry$registry){$em=$registry->getManager();$em->getConnection()->beginTransaction();try{// Do something.$em->getConnection()->commit();}catch(\Exception$ex){$em->getConnection()->rollback();$em->close();throw$ex;}}
If that code throws an exception and the EntityManager is closed. Any other
code which depends on the same instance of the EntityManager during this
request will fail.
On the other hand, if you instead inject the ManagerRegistry, the getManager()
method guarantees that you will always get a usable manager instance.
This method seems to be duplicated in your project.
Duplicated code is one of the most pungent code smells. If you need to duplicate
the same code in three or more different places, we strongly encourage you to
look into extracting the code into a single class or operation.
You can also find more detailed suggestions in the “Code” section of your repository.
