basic product repository save not work in cron - magento2

Question

I tried the below code in custom controller and cron job method [just load and save] after that I felt some issues

$product = $this->productRepository->getById(548); $this->productRepository->save($product);

From Controller:

From Cron

Update

I checked the same in Magento 2.1.3

From Cron

is there any limitation to use product repository in cron? or did I something wrong?

I think you mismatch object to save a update product info. I tried blow code using corn its works for me.

 $product = $this->productRepository->getById($product_id); $product->setName("Testing"); $product->save();

Update:

I saw vendor/magento/module-catalog/Model/ProductRepository::save() same way to save product, its works for me.

I use

 $this->productRepository->save($target, $saveOptions = false);

Instread of below line

 $this->productRepository->save($target);

could you look at this module-catalog/Model/ProductRepository::save(), it seems like pass the product as the argument. by the way I tried you suggestion but it is not work in 2.0.8 — Bilal Usean
