Concrete5 5.7: Using file objects in a Single Page Controller - concrete5

Question

I try to attach a file object to a mail object.
I have included the following in the form of my view:
$f = new Concrete\Core\Application\Service\FileManager();
//...
echo $f->file('file', 'test', 'pls choose');
Then I submit my form back to the controller. There (BTW all other form fields arrive in the controller as expected) I do:
$files = $this->post('test');
$file = \File::getByID($files);
which should return a File object. When I do
$file = \File::getRelativePathFromID($files);
it gives me the correct path to the chosen file.
So far so good. BUT when I try to send a mail with exactly that file object attached:
$mail = Loader::helper('mail');
$mail->setTesting(false);
$mail->setSubject('test-subject');
$mail->to($this->post('uEmail'));
//...
$attach = $mail->addAttachment($file);
$attach->filename = 'tttt';
$mail->sendMail();
the following error occurs:
call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback,
class 'Concrete\Core\File\Version' does not have a method 'getPath'
which apparently comes from this class method (API):
namespace Concrete\Core\Mail;
//...
class Service {
//...
/**
* Add attachment to send with an email.
*
* Sample Code:
* $attachment = $mailHelper->addAttachment($fileObject);
* $attachment->filename = "CustomFilename";
* $mailHelper->send();
*
* #param File $fob File to attach
* #return StdClass Pointer to the attachment
*/
public function addAttachment(\Concrete\Core\File\File $fob)
{
// #TODO make this work with the File Storage Locations
$fv = $fob->getVersion();
$path = $fob->getPath();
$name = $fv->getFileName();
//...
}
//...
}
which apparently wants a file object as param, which I think I passed, weren't I?
Why my file object becomes a FileVersion object, which, as I see by myself, hasn't got a method getPath().
My other trials so far:
$fv = $f->getApprovedVersion();
$fv->setFile($f);
$fv->getFile();
$fv = $f->getRecentVersion();
$fv->setFile($f);
$fv->getFile();
How do I get the correct file object, which I have to, maybe (??) , take out of the last/approved Version of this file?

This was a bug that has been fixed in the upstream, you'll have to either patch this yourself or wait until version 7.4 lands.
