Compatible with Magento 2.4.7, as backward compatibility has been lost in the Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository class

[TuVanDev]

As of Magento 2.4.7, backward compatibility has been lost in the Magento\Catalog\Model\ProductRepository class. This pull request aims to fix this issue.

Check the issue page in the Magento repo for reference: magento/magento2#38669.

---

The changes made in this pull request are as follows:

• Updated version
• Replaced the __construct() method with multiple methods that utilize ObjectManager to instantiate the necessary instances. This change was made to prevent errors during code complication:

Incompatible argument type: Required type: \Magento\Catalog\Api\Data\ProductSearchResultsInterfaceFactory. Actual type: \Magento\Catalog\Controller\Adminhtml\Product\Initialization\Helper; File:
/app/app/code/Doofinder/Feed/Model/ProductRepository.php

• Additional improvements were made as follows:
  • Fixed typos
  • Removed the unused property, $stockRegistry.
  • Replaced the $excludedCustomAttributes property with a constant. Using a class constant for a fixed value that will be used within a method helps to clearly define and identify the value as a constant for that class. It also ensures that the value remains consistent and cannot be changed or modified within the class methods.
  • Removed nullable parameter type from the $attributes param, as it must be of type array since it is used as the second param in an array_merge() function, which requires an array type.

LGTM! 🏆 (Although we have to take into account @sofia-doofinder's correction)

Using the objectManager directly is not a good practice as it defeats the purpose of dependency injection. That being said, I'm guessing there is no other way to bypass the backwards compatibility issue of the 2.4.7 version. For the future, when this issue gets addressed, I would study going back to the usage of the constructor again, even tho this particular minor version would not work anymore, as Magento will probably decommend it.
