Model error with builder first()

Hi,

I'm trying to do a simple model query but it doesn't seem to work as defined in the official documentation.

Here's my code below:

PHP Code:

<?php 
namespace App\Models;  

use CodeIgniter\Model;

class UtilisateurModel extends Model {

    protected $db;

    protected $table           = 'utilisateur';
    protected $primaryKey      = 'id_utilisateur';
    protected $useAutoIncrement = true;
    protected $returnType      = 'array';
    
    protected $allowedFields = [
        'nom',
        'email',
    ];

    public function __construct() {
        $this->db = db_connect();
    }

    public function get_from_email ($email) {
        return $this->where('email', $email)->first();
    }
} 


When I call (new UtilisateurModel)->get_from_email($email);

I got the error:
Argument 1 passed to CodeIgniter\Database\BaseResult::getFirstRow() must be of the type string, null given

How can I solve that?
Regards

Remove your constructor.

Yes that does the charm!

It was there when I took the code and I didn't challenged it.

Cheers

Remove your constructor.

thank you for this! i was not conscious to see that i too was having the same problem because i was overriding the parent constructor !

Remove your constructor.

Got the same problem and this helped me. May I know why?

Got answer  (RTFM!!!)

Because CodeIgniter's Model automatically connects to the database.
