This happened to me every morning, every time I boot up my computer and load up the site. One solution I found was to save the file permanently and save the path on another variable.
Form Field:
$form['logo_upload'] = [
'#title' => $this->t('Upload Logo'),
'#description' => $this->t('Choose file'),
'#type' => 'managed_file',
'#name' => 'logo',
'#size' => 20,
'#upload_location' => 'public://img/logo',
];
Form Submit function:
public function submitForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
$form_file = $form_state->getValue('logo_upload', 0);
$logo_path = $config->getItem('logo_path');
if (!empty($form_file) && is_array($form_file)) {
$file = File::load($form_file[0]);
$file_uri = $file->getFileUri();
$image_path = file_url_transform_relative(file_create_url($file_uri));
if ($logo_path != $image_path) {
$file->setPermanent();
$file->save();
$form_state
->setValue('logo_path', $image_path)
->setValue('logo_upload', '');
}
}
I added this $image_path = file_url_transform_relative(file_create_url($file_uri));
to create a relative path and save it to logo_path variable. This development in on Drupal 8.
