Problem with run file-bundle

[szal1k]

Hi,
I have problem with use file-bundle with Symfony (7.1.5). After successful installation, when i tried to save example file as:
`
use Rekalogika\File\File;

...

$image = new File('tmp/test.png'); // file exists

$user->setAvatar($image);

$this->em->flush();
`
Application return error with: "Object of class Rekalogika\File\File could not be converted to string".

I have configured entity with instructions from the article: https://rekalogika.dev/file-bundle/doctrine-entity

Does this bundle work?

You are probably casting the File object to string somewhere. Maybe to get the filename like what we are used to doing with Symfony HttpFoundation File. You can't do that as our FileInterface is not a Stringable. If you want to print the filename, try $file->getName().

If you still have a problem, please provide a stack trace.

Thanks for your response. I know what this error says but I work carefully with the documentation: https://rekalogika.dev/file-bundle/doctrine-entity

This is my entity:

`
...
use Rekalogika\Contracts\File\FileInterface;
use Rekalogika\File\Association\Attribute\WithFileAssociation;
use Rekalogika\File\Association\Attribute\AsFileAssociation;
use Rekalogika\File\File;
...

#[WithFileAssociation]
class User implements UserInterface, PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface, PersistenceSubjectInterface
{

...
#[AsFileAssociation]
private ?FileInterface $avatar = null;

public function getAvatar(): ?FileInterface
{
    return $this->avatar;
}

public function setAvatar(?FileInterface $avatar): static
{
    $this->avatar = $avatar;

    return $this;
}

...
`
Call the method setAvatar (as setImage) as instructions in documentation.

UPDATE user SET avatar = ? WHERE id = ?

That shouldn't happen. The file property should not get a field on the database. Make sure AsFileAssociation is the only attribute attached to $avatar.

So, how can i store file path into the database in entity field? Do you have any working sample with best practise? Thanks for your help.

Ok, all is clear. The bundle make more magic that i was thinked. Thanks :)
