FOSUser Bundle.. Could not load type “X” error when overriding form type

Question

I thought I followed the documentation very closely, but for some reason, I am receiving this error message.. Could not load type "sam_user_registration" // src/Sam/Bundle/UserBundle/Entity/User.php ``` namespace Sam\Bundle\UserBundle\Entity; use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; use FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser; use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; /** * @ORM\Entity * @ORM\Table(name="sam_user") */ class User extends BaseUser { /** * @var string $id * * @ORM\Id * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer") * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO") */ protected $id; /** * Get id * * @return string $id */ public function getId() { return $this->id; } /** * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255) * * @Assert\NotBlank(message="Please enter your name.", groups={"Registration", "Profile"}) * @Assert\MinLength(limit="3", message="The name is too short.", groups={"Registration", "Profile"}) * @Assert\MaxLength(limit="255", message="The name is too long.", groups={"Registration"…

Accepted Answer

First your user class is missing its constructor. Since you inherit BaseUser you have to call the parent constructor too. So...

```
public function __construct()
{
    parent::__construct();

//your code

}
```

Second you do not need to override the form type. Since you have added the name field to your entity it will be available in your form automatically via

```
{{ form_widget(myForm.name)} }
```

-> FosUserBundle Doc

However, are your sure you imported your services.xml in your config.yml AND why are you mixing xml and yml? Just stick to one.

```
imports:
    - { resource: @SamBundleUserBundle/Resources/config/services.yml }
```

And in an comment Patt pointed our overriding registration FOSUserBundle Symfony2
