How to create custom entity with image field?

[kevinrademan]

Hi Guys

I'm currently trying to get a custom entity working with a image fields. I've manage to get the system to render the media control by changing my form type to include the following

->add('logo', 'pim_enrich_media')

When I try and save, it gives me the following error

An exception occurred while executing 'UPDATE acme_reference_data_retailer SET logo = ? WHERE id = ?' with params [{}, 1]:

Catchable Fatal Error: Method Akeneo\Component\FileStorage\Model\FileInfo::__toString() must return a string value

I'm assuming that there is some middle ware layer that is supposed to save the image to the file system and replace the value from post with the file path. I just haven't been able to figure out how that all fits together.
