Problems injecting a custom service into a custom provider with Symfony2

Question

I have problems calling my ImageEncoderService inside my LdapUserProvider.php with Symfony2. On the internet, I only find discussions on how to call services inside repositories, controllers, entities, and commands.

Doing this:

class LdapUserProvider implements UserProviderInterface
{
    private $ldapManager;
    private $bindUsernameBefore;
    private $userClass;
    private $em;
    private $session;
    private $imgEncoder;

    public function __construct(LdapManagerUserInterface $ldapManager, $bindUsernameBefore = false, $userClass, $em, ImageEncoderService $imgEnconder)
    {
        $this->session = new Session();
        $this->ldapManager = $ldapManager;
        $this->bindUsernameBefore = $bindUsernameBefore;
        $this->userClass = $userClass;
        $this->em = $em;
        $this->imgEnconder = $imgEnconder;
    }
    ...
}

Throw this error:

ContextErrorException in LdapUserProvider.php line 58:
Catchable Fatal Error: Argument 5 passed to
Foo\ApiBundle\Provider\LdapUserProvider::__construct() 
must be an instance of Foo\ApiBundle\Service\ImageEncoderService,
none given, called in /app/cache/dev/appDevDebugProjectContainer.php 
on line 2202 and defined

Is it even possible to inject the service into a custom provider? Or do I need to inject it somewhere else and then use it inside the provider?

The LDAP provider I'm using is this: https://symfony.com/doc/current/security/ldap.html

PS. The service itself works fine in other places of the app, like commands, controllers etc.

are you sure that you have in class use statement of this API?

use  Foo\ApiBundle\Service\ImageEncoderService;

Try to delete cache directory.

You can try inject explicitly through services.yml service.

Symfony documentation for injecting explicitly other services and params.

https://symfony.com/doc/current/service_container.html#manually-wiring-arguments

Example:

     # explicitly configure the service
        #dont remember if you need to register the service like this
        #but should work without this, refer documentation :)
        # ImageService:
        #   class:  Foo\ApiBundle\Provider\LdapUserProvider

        Foo\ApiBundle\Provider\LdapUserProvider:
            arguments:
                $imgEncoder: '@Foo\ApiBundle\Service\ImageEncoderService'
                #$imgEncoder: '@ImageService'
