When mapped, WordPress uploads are almost always 4.1K

[binarykitchen]

On Mac OS using latest Local by Flywheel in conjunction with this local-addon-volumes almost all uploads in WordPress appear to be 4.1K large. Every time. When it’s a video, it can’t be played.

Here a directory listing as an example:

/Users/michael-heuberger/Local Sites/(my test site)/app/public/wp-content/uploads/2018/07 
$ la

-rw-r--r--  1 michael-heuberger  staff   4.1K 16 Jul 18:22 330014371325.webm
-rw-r--r--  1 michael-heuberger  staff    39K 16 Jul 18:25 145163372442.webm <--- here a working one
-rw-r--r--  1 michael-heuberger  staff   4.1K 16 Jul 18:24 57609106783.webm

When you research you will see that symlinks are always 4.1K. But wait, you see one of the above video files has a reasonable size of 39K and can be played. All others are 4.1K

Probably a bug when it comes to Volumes mapping, Docker, Virtual Stuff or so? Not sure.

Any clues?

Thanks

That's interesting, especially considering that's an la from your host machine and not inside the container.

If you move the file out of the Local site's folder, are you able to play the webm?

[binarykitchen]

Nope, even when I move out the bad ones, they can't be played @claygriffiths

Can you investigate this? It's breaking my wordpress plugin ...

[binarykitchen]

Ping? @claygriffiths

[claygriffiths]

@binarykitchen,

Got it. So based off of that, this issue is likely occurring when you upload the file and not after the fact. If you upload new webm's do they have a size of 4.1K?

Do you have Faster Docker Volumes enabled under Preferences » Advanced?

[binarykitchen]

Yes I have Faster Docker Volumes enabled. Does this cause this problem? @claygriffiths
