getOriginalFileUrl() sometimes returns empty string

[kukicado]

Describe the bug

Expected behavior

I have a Laravel Action that takes an image from the local filesystem and uploads it to uploadcare. I am using the $uploader->fromPath() method and capturing the response in a $response variable:

$response = $uploader->fromPath($filePath, 'image/png');

and then returning the original file url by doing return $response->getOriginalFileUrl();.

The issue that I run into is, sometimes the $response->getOriginalFileUrl(); will return an empty string. The file still gets uploaded to uploadcare, I can access the $getUuuid() and $getOriginalFilename() methods just fine. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or is there a way to wait until $response->getOriginalFileUrl() is populated?

Hi. original_file_url is publicly available if a file is not deleted (or not yet stored).

That's why getOriginalFileUrl returns you an empty string. Use $response->isReady()) to check it's readiness before you can get an original file URL.
