Hook dependencies

[alasdaircr]

Hello I have the following code:

<?php

namespace Espo\Modules\MYMODULE\Hooks\Common;

use Espo\ORM\Entity;

class MYCLASS extends \Espo\Core\Hooks\Base
{
    protected function init()
    {
        parent::init();
        $this->addDependency('serviceFactory');
    }

    protected function getServiceFactory()
    {
        return $this->getInjection('serviceFactory');
    }

    public function beforeSave(Entity $entity, $initialSync = FALSE)
    {
        $service = $this->getServiceFactory()->create('MyServiceName');
        ^^^
    }
}

I'm seeing an error message in the beforeSave call:

E_NOTICE: Undefined index: serviceFactory {"code":8,"message":"Undefined index: serviceFactory","file":"/var/espo/espocrm/application/Espo/Core/Hooks/Base.php","line":77,"context":{"name":"serviceFact ory"}} []

I've rebuilt, checked for typos etc. Why wouldn't the addDependency call be working for me?

Hello
Maybe hook runs before serviceFactory is loaded. It's a global hook, it could be called too early.
Try to limit entity list it's used for.
You could also try $this->getInjection('container')->get('serviceFactory');
But I'm not sure.

Thanks tanya I went with a different approach,
