Laravel Download FIle from storage
Hi,
return Storage::download($file['path'], $file['name']);
I am using this way to download some files I have in the storage but it's throwing
Unable to retrieve the file_size for file at location: nameofthefile.pdf
Level 3
@Sinnbeck false... My File is Stored in storage/app/public/files
Level 102
@Kris01 you need to provide it the proper path (or disk)
Is this better? If not you need to tell me what $file['path']is
dd(Storage::disk('public')->exists($file['path']));
Level 3
@Sinnbeck File['path'] is actually the file name, which is stored in storage/app/public/files
Level 102
@Kris01 ok so how about
dd(Storage::disk('public')->exists('files/'. $file['path']));

@Sinnbeck It works, but I don't know why when I put a custom name, it doesn't download it as pdf, but as something else, just file
Level 102
@Kris01 just file? So the file is named "file.pdf"? Or

@Sinnbeck My bad, I was not adding .pdf, yes the file name was just 'filename'.

Thank goodness this search comes up high in Google.
What throws one off is the file_size bit but it's actually just a file not found problem.
In my case I'm was using Barryvdh/DomPDF facade and naively thought this line would happily find it in the right place when I download:
$pdf->save(storage_path() . "/invoice_$invoice->id.pdf");
In fact I had to go over the paths with a magnifying glass before I could figure it out. This line from @sinnbeck was the big clue:
dd(Storage::exists($file['path']));
