I have a plugin that allows the user to upload an image using managed_file to use as a bg image. While using the In-Place editor, I get a Ajax 500 error when trying to upload. I will post my watchdog log below. When trying to edit the same page via admin>structure>pages>content, I am able to do this perfectly fine. It also seems that, after uploading the file in admin>structure>pages>content, I am able to swap this image on this block plugin using the in place editor, but trying to do this initially with the in place editor fails.

I was assuming it was related specifically to this issue

a:6:{s:5:"%type";s:9:"Exception";s:8:"@message";s:84:"Serialization of 'Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile' is not allowed

And found someone with a similar issue here

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45154697/serialization-of-uploadedfile-is-not-allowed

But it was in a non drupal context so I wasn't sure where to go from there. Could the In Place Editor ajax error have to do with the UploadedFile error? And if so how would I resolve this?

It looks like Drupal is trying to cache a form with an attached UploadedFile object in it.

Is your custom Plugin a Block with a file element in it?

In your blockForm function try:

$form_state->disableCache()

UPDATE 1

Based on @Aaron's feedback I updated buildForm to blockForm above.

Note: Disabling caching for a form does have performance implications.

In general you can disable caching for a form anywhere you create or alter a form. Those functions typically have at least two parameters:

@var array &$form
@var \Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface $form_state

  • I'm using a module that extends blockform, so i am able to add background images to any block plugin. So many block plugins have these UploadedFile objects.
