Problem description

I have a form that accepts a PDF file upload (handled by the plugin). It also accepts a thumbnail image, but in case that is null the app generates a thumbnail from the first page of the PDF.

I've tried to hook into the afterCreate lifecycle hook of the creation process to check for that. What happens is no media is available on the record, even though in the database row is added.

public function afterCreate(): void
{
        if (!$record->getFirstMedia('thumbnail')) {
            $pdf = $record->getFirstMedia('pdf');
            $thumbnailGenerator = app(GenerateThumbnailFromPdf::class);
            $record->addMedia($thumbnailGenerator->generate($pdf))->withResponsiveImages()->toMediaCollection('thumbnail');
        }
}

In this instance $pdf returns null. Note that I am not using database transactions.

Expected behavior

I would expect to already have media available here in this lifecycle hook.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a form with a SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload component to upload the PDF (located

Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('pdf')
                            ->label('PDF File')
                            ->collection('pdf')

2. Hook into the lifecycle with afterCreate method:

public function afterCreate() {
     $pdf = $this->record->getFirstMedia('pdf');
    dd($pdf);
}

$pdf should be an instance of Media here.
