Why can't I foreach my var?

Hi all!

I’m trying to @foreach a var in my blade template but it generates these errors:

Fatal error: Uncaught Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Call to a member function addLoop() on null in /srv/www/vardgivare.test/current/web/app/uploads/cache/70cbb29107ef6c211899c87a24a38b28a8e14586.php on line 16

My Controller (site/web/app/themes/halland/app/theme/Comments.php):

namespace App\Theme;

class Comments
{
	public function __construct()
	{

	}

	/**
	 * Returns array of breadcrumbs.
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function getComments()
	{
		$comments = get_comments();
		return $comments;
	}
}

App.php (site/web/app/themes/halland/app/controllers/app.php)

	public function comments()
	{
		$comments = new \App\Theme\Comments();
		$comments = $comments->getComments();
		var_dump($comments); // <- This prints out my comments just fine...
		return $comments;
	}

comments.blade.php (site/web/app/themes/halland/resources/views/partials/comments.blade.php)

@php
if (post_password_required()) {
	return;
}
@endphp

<section id="comments" class="comments">
	@if (have_comments())
		<h2>

		</h2>

		@if(isset($comments))
			
			@foreach ($comments as $comment)
				<p> {{ $comment->comment_ID }} </p>  <- This bit doesn't work! 
			@endforeach		

		@endif

		@if (get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option('page_comments'))
			<nav>
				<ul class="pager clearfix">

		@endif
	@endif
	
	@if (!comments_open() && get_comments_number() != '0' && post_type_supports(get_post_type(), 'comments'))

      								$user_identity,
									wp_logout_url( apply_filters( 'the_permalink', get_permalink( ) ) )) .

	</div>
	</div>

What do you get when you var_dump the $comments variable in your blade?

Also, which template is calling the comments.blade.php partial? If it’s not a single you’ll probably need to use a static method in your Controller and pass the post ID to get the right comments.

@php(var_dump($comments))

^ Gives me the comments in an array. As expected I’d say…

It’s called from single.blade.php I’m afraid…

Hello peeps. I finally figured out what caused the error. The blade file used to display the comments was not included by blade but included using php so I guess it lost it’s context.
