[Bug] Method Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Collections\MediaCollection::delete does not exist in a nested model

[xenorum]

Bug report

What I did

• I have a model Post with a related model (HasOne) SubPost with media
• A CRUD for Post that includes a SubPost
• Whenever I would create (or update) a model, the error Method Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Collections\MediaCollection::delete does not exist. arises

What I expected to happen

Media gets deleted and uploaded (if needed)

What I've already tried to fix it

I've tried also tried with a 'relationship' field, same error.

Context to replicate the bug - Backpack, Laravel, PHP, DB version

See https://github.com/xenorum/backpack-media-repeatable for an example of the setup

Thanks for your insights, I am stuck on this one.

Hey @xenorum

Your example repo is using a repeatable field

So I created a similar field to test and I found upload & delete working for me:

[
    'name'      => 'sub_posts',
    'type'      => 'repeatable',
    'subfields' => [
        [
            'name'    => 'title',
            'wrapper' => [
                'class' => 'col-md-3',
            ],
        ],
        [
            'name'    => 'image',
            'type'    => 'image',
            'withMedia'    => [],
            'wrapper' => [
                'class' => 'col-md-9',
            ],
        ],                    
    ],
]

MODEL

protected $casts = [
'sub_posts'  => 'array',
]

can you run composer update and try again?

If you continue facing this issue, please share the error stack trace.

MODEL

For now, the difference I found in your repo & my project is:

Mine was using "spatie/laravel-medialibrary": "^10.7",
Your is "spatie/laravel-medialibrary": "^10.0.0"

can you run composer update and try again?

If you continue facing this issue, please share the error stack trace.

[xenorum]

Composer update is not doing the trick. Also, with the changes you suggest, it seems the one-to-one relation is gone (not sure if that is an issue).
Would you care to share the "parent" model & "child" model + the CrudController with me?

FYI: stack trace here: https://flareapp.io/share/OmVwGRwP#stack

Thanks in advance for your effort on checking this.

@tabacitu Sorry for the direct mention, any chance you can shed some light on this 🙏

[karandatwani92]

Hey @xenorum Sorry this took so long to acknowledge the problem and your example repo was using repeatable instead of has one-relationship field.

I tested this again with HasOne - Relationship Field. It threw the error you mentioned.

I'm assigning my colleague to fix it.

Hey @pxpm I used Cave hasOne Monster Relationship to test it:

• When I create a Monster from Monter CRUD, it works.✅
• When I create a Monster from a Cave CRUD using relationship field & subfields❌, ERROR!!

[xenorum]

Hi, do you happen to have an update on this?

[pxpm]

Hey @xenorum sorry not yet.

There was issues in Uploaders that need to be addressed before fixing stuff in this package.

There are two PR's towards fixing uploaders stuff. Laravel-Backpack/CRUD#5440 for example.

Only when we merge them I can spend time fixing this, I think it won't be wise working on this, when it's possible the problem is in the Uploaders and not on this specific package.

This is on my list as soon as we merge the PR's that aim to fix uploaders.

Sorry it took a little bit longer, I am actively working on the uploaders issue.

Thanks for understanding and your patience.

Hello, any news on this topic? Having the same issue.

Working on media library uploaders this week.
Expect some news by the end of the week 👍

Cheers

[xenorum]

Bump :-)

[pxpm]

Thanks @xenorum , appreciate 🙏

this is being worked on in #34

It has breaking changes, but shouldn't be noticeable if you are not overwriting a bunch of stuff.
