I am currently receiving the following error:
"The form's view data is expected to be an instance of class Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File, but is a(n) string. You can avoid this error by setting the "data_class" option to null or by adding a view transformer that transforms a(n) string to an instance of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File."

public function uploadSong(Request $request)
{
$song = new Sound();
$form = $this->createForm(SoundType::class, $song);
$form->handleRequest($request);
if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid())

$user = $this->getUser();
$fileName = $this

if ($file === null)

else

SoundType - Form
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder
->add('file', FileType::class)
->add('coverFile', FileType::class, [
'required' => false
])
->add('songName', TextType::class)
->add('songAuthor', TextType::class);
}
Here is the answer:
{
$builder
->add('file', FileType::class, array('data_class' => null))
->add('coverFile', FileType::class, array('data_class' => null))
->add('coverFile', FileType::class, array('data_class' => null,'required' => false))
->add('songName', TextType::class)
->add('songAuthor', TextType::class);
}

You tell doctrine that you want to store a string, but you render an upload button in the form which send you a physic file which you do not want to store in your database at all. Instead you want to move the file from a temporary directory to your upload directory, and you want to remember the name of the file into the database wherefore you need this property which is a string.
