Checking whether a File field has uploaded content

Calling AT File field accessor will return a File object: 

(Pdb) self.context.getAttachment()
<File at /mfabrik/success-stories/case-studies/finnish-national-broadcasting-company/attachment>

Note that this may return None if the content item has been constructed but the form has not been properly saved.

If the size is 0, the file is not yet uploaded: 

(Pdb) attach.getSize()
0

Example how to check in a view whether AT context file size exists: 

@property
def available(self):

    # Make sure that we have content item of right kind
    if ICaseStudy.providedBy(self.context):

        # Make sure the content item is not anymore in the creation stage
        if self.context.getAttachment() is not None:

            # Check the content of File field
            if self.context.getAttachment().getSize() > 0:
                return True

    return False
