getClientOriginalName() undefined method - php

Question

Im working in a symfony3 project where i have a onetomany relation to upload multiple files with VICH UPLOADER, and save each file as separated entity.
First entity is "Message", and has a onetomany relation with "MessageAttachment".

**As you can see, in setFile() in MessageAttachments, im trying to retrieve original file name, and save it. Vich uploader can do it with annotations, but im not working in php 7 !
Everything is working ok, filesize and mimetypes are being saved correctly, except saving original name.**
This is the error symfony shows me:
[Tue Oct 17 11:58:19.031167 2017] [:error] [pid 9076:tid 1816] [client 127.0.0.1:53731] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File::getClientOriginalName() in C:\xampp\htdocs\mindway2\src\AppBundle\Entity\MessageAttachment.php on line 121, referer: http://mindway.dev/messages/new
Any idea? i cant find why!
The real filename needs to be shown, and i need it to rename files for downloading.
Finally, i have decided to do it in the way i dont like, in controller, before persist entities:
foreach($message->getAttachments() as $attachfile)
{
$attachfile->setRealname($attachfile->getFile()->getClientOriginalName());
}

Answer 1

It says it's looking in Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\ File and it doesn't exist in that class --that's true. The method getClientOriginalName is in Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\ UploadedFile.
Does your use statement say File or UploadedFile? If it's not UploadedFile, change it and see what happens.
