After updating from Download File version 7.x.1.1 to 7.x.2.1 I receive the following error when I try to download files from my site

Recoverable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to download_file_direct_download() must be an instance of stdClass, string given in download_file_direct_download() (line 145 of /path/to/my/website/sites/all/modules/contrib/download_file/download_file.module).

I am running this on Drupal 7.54.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks.

Let me know
- the exact URL of the file you're attempting to download
- the formatter used to display the download_file field
- if this is being rendered via a node page template, view, or something else.

  • The URL is mywebsite.com/download/file/fid/384
  • This is being rendered via panels page. The download link is its own pane. When I go to add a pane to the page I select "Node" then select "Field: Lesson File (field_lesson_file)" Lesson file is the name of my download field.
  • The formatter is called "Direct Download File"

Apologies in advance for additional questions, but this should get us closer. I'd like to replicate your scenario as closely as possible so I can provide you with a fix.

  • - Let me know the versions of the various panels modules being used on the page
  • - if you have DB access, let me know the output of
    SELECT * FROM file_managed WHERE fid=384;
  • - If you're comfortable sharing, please let me know the URL of the site where this issue is occurring and where you have public:// mapped to , This will allow me to access the file on your site directly and analyze the headers . Obviously, If this file has sensitive information I'll get by without

A cache clear fixed this for me.
