Why does adding constructor parameters require my to clear /generated












0















I'm using Magento 2.2 in development mode.



I have a controller class



class MyController
{
public function __construct(
MagentoFrameworkAppActionContext $context,
MagentoFrameworkMessageManagerInterface $messageManager)
{
// stuff
}
}


That works correctly. However, if I add an additional constructor parameter like this:



class MyController
{
public function __construct(
MagentoFrameworkAppActionContext $context,
MagentoFrameworkViewResultPageFactory $resultPageFactory,
MagentoFrameworkMessageManagerInterface $messageManager)
{
// stuff
}
}


I get the error



PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Argument 2 passed to
BenTestingControllerTest::__construct() must be an instance of
MagentoFrameworkViewResultPageFactory, instance of
MagentoFrameworkMessageManagerInterface given, called in
/magento-dev/magento2/generated/code/Ben/Testing/Controller/Test/Interceptor.php
on line 7 and defined in /magento-dev/magento2/app/code/Ben/Testing/Controller/Test.php:7
...


If I clear the /generated folder and refresh the page, it works.



My question is about how Magento handles caching and generated code. I can add additional code to non-constructor functions without needing to clear /generated, and it works. Why does that work, but adding additional constructor parameters requires me to clear the /generated folder?
