delete a cached image with liip

Question

I want to delete the deleted image from the cache. I made a listener but I can't remove the photo from the cache:

$this->cm->remove($entity->getFilename(), 'thumb');

I don't use vichbundle. I don't understand why I can't.

Thanks a lot

To access to image path you can make a function inside your entity:

class Image {

    public function getWebPath(): string
    {
       // name should have the extension (1556989965.jpeg)
        return __DIR__ . '/../../public/uploads/images' . '/' . $this->getName();
    }

    // Or try like this:

    // directory inside public folder
    const UPLOAD_DIR = 'uploads/images';

    //folder
    public function getUploadDir(): string
    {
       return $this::UPLOAD_DIR;
    }

    public function getWebPath(): string
    {
        return $this->getUploadDir() . '/' . $this->getName();
    }

   

}

and to remove cache:

$this->cm->remove($entity->getWebPath(), 'thumb');
