Symfony 2: The option "validation_constraint" does not exist

I have a very simple form without class. I made some items with constraint options but the form validation does not work.
I've read several places (e.g here ) I can add a validation_constraint parameter which is a \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Collection instance.

When I try I always get an error message:

The option "validation_constraint" does not exist. Known options are: ... blabla

My form:

$collectionConstraint = new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Collection(
            array(
                'customer' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank(),
                'customer_address' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank(),
                'customer_address_postal' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank(),
                'paymentDeadline' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Date(),
                'fulfillmentDate' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Date(),

                'currency' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Choice(array(
                    'choices' => $currency_entities
                )),

                'paymode' => new \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Choice(array(
                    'choices' => $paymode_entities
                ))
            )
        );

$form = $this->createFormBuilder(null,array(
            'validation_constraint' => $collectionConstraint
            ))
            ->add('customer','choice',array(
                'choice_list'=> $customer_choices, 
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large',
                )
            ))
            ->add('customer_address','choice',array(
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large'
                )
            ))
            ->add('customer_address_postal','choice',array(
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large'
                )
            ))
            ->add('paymentDeadline','date',array(
                'input' => 'datetime',
                'widget' => 'single_text',
                'required' => true,
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'date-picker m-ctrl-medium',
                    'addon' => 'icon-calendar',
                )
            ))
            ->add('fulfillmentDate','date',array(
                'input' => 'datetime',
                'widget' => 'single_text',
                'required' => true,
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'date-picker m-ctrl-medium',
                    'addon' => 'icon-calendar',
                )
            ))
            ->add('currency','choice',array(
                'required' => true,
                'choice_list' => $curreny_choices
            ))
            ->add('paymode','choice',array(
                'required' => true,
                'choice_list' => $paymode_choices

            ))
            ->add('subject','text',array(
                'required' => false,
                'attr' => array(
                    'class' => 'span8'
                )
            ))
            ->add('comment','textarea',array(
                'required' => false,
                'attr' => array(
                    'class' => 'span8',
                    'rows' => 5
                )
            ))
        ;

Symfony version is 2.3.3.

What could be the problem?

The validation has to be applied to each field using the constraints option, not to the form builder.
So your code should be as follow:

use \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank;
use \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Date;
use \Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\Choice;

$form = $this->createFormBuilder(null)
            ->add('customer','choice',array(
                'choice_list'=> $customer_choices, 
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large',
                ),
                'constraints' => new NotBlank()
            ))
            ->add('customer_address','choice',array(
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large'
                ),
                'constraints' => new NotBlank()
            ))
            ->add('customer_address_postal','choice',array(
                'multiple' => false,
                'required' => true,
                'empty_value' => '',
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'chosen large'
                ),
                'constraints' => new NotBlank()
            ))
            ->add('paymentDeadline','date',array(
                'input' => 'datetime',
                'widget' => 'single_text',
                'required' => true,
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'date-picker m-ctrl-medium',
                    'addon' => 'icon-calendar',
                ),
                'constraints' => new Date()
            ))
            ->add('fulfillmentDate','date',array(
                'input' => 'datetime',
                'widget' => 'single_text',
                'required' => true,
                'attr'   =>  array(
                    'class'   => 'date-picker m-ctrl-medium',
                    'addon' => 'icon-calendar',
                ),
                'constraints' => new Date()
            ))
            ->add('currency','choice',array(
                'required' => true,
                'choice_list' => $curreny_choices,
                'constraints' => new Choice(array(
                    'choices' => $currency_entities
                )),
            ))
            ->add('paymode','choice',array(
                'required' => true,
                'choice_list' => $paymode_choices,
                'constraints' => new Choice(array(
                    'choices' => $paymode_entities
                ))

            ))
            ->add('subject','text',array(
                'required' => false,
                'attr' => array(
                    'class' => 'span8'
                )
            ))
            ->add('comment','textarea',array(
                'required' => false,
                'attr' => array(
                    'class' => 'span8',
                    'rows' => 5
                )
            ))
        ;

Note: I have added some use statements at the top to keep the code clear.
