How do i correctly initialise a controller when using Navigation bars in flutter?

I have a Navigation bar, and the list of tab widgets are all initialised in a controller called RootController.

I happen to add another tab to the list called JobsView() but when i try to move to navigate to the tab it gives me this error:

Error

I have tried initialising the controller it said was missing but i don’t really understand where it is missing because looks like all my controllers are initialized. What’s the trick?

I will add the following snippets:

JobsView()
root_controller

class JobsView extends GetView<EServicesController> {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      floatingActionButton: new FloatingActionButton(
        child: new Icon(Icons.add, size: 32, color: Get.theme.primaryColor),
        onPressed: () => {Get.offAndToNamed(Routes.E_SERVICE_FORM)},
        backgroundColor: Get.theme.colorScheme.secondary,
      ),
      floatingActionButtonLocation: FloatingActionButtonLocation.endFloat,
      body: RefreshIndicator(
        onRefresh: () async {
          Get.find<LaravelApiClient>().forceRefresh();
          controller.refreshEServices(showMessage: true);
          Get.find<LaravelApiClient>().unForceRefresh();
        },
        child: CustomScrollView(
          controller: controller.scrollController,
          physics: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics(),
          shrinkWrap: false,
          slivers: <Widget>[
            SliverAppBar(
              backgroundColor: Get.theme.scaffoldBackgroundColor,

>Solution :

you need to initialise controller before used it as mention in error logs. so you can try this:

So before use any controller in GETX you need to initialise first before use it.

 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    Get.put(EServicesController()); // ADD this line
     return Scaffold(...);
  }
