FOS UserBundle -> Unable to create new user

Question

This is the very first time I use Symfony2 by myself and I think I've made a mistake when configuring the FOS User Bundle. Looks like my User entity does not properly extend the FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User.

Here's my User class (basically the same as mentioned on the doc)

<?php
// src/Acme/UserBundle/Entity/User.php

namespace VillaPrivee\UserBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User as BaseUser;


/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 * @ORM\Table(name="user")
 */
class User extends BaseUser
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
     */
    protected $id;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }
}

Since I use Netbeans, I'm able to "Ctrl click" and make sure "FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User" exists. So far, I don't see anything wrong...

But when I try to create a new user using my terminal, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method VillaPrivee\UserBundle\Entity\User::setUsername() 
in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/VillaPrivee/vendor/friendsofsymfony/
user-bundle/FOS/UserBundle/Util/UserManipulator.php on line 50

Not sure what other details I should provide you guys with, just let me know if any other file could matter in this case.

Thanks for your help!

Edit :

<?php

namespace VillaPrivee\UserBundle;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;

class VillaPriveeUserBundle extends Bundle
{
    public function getParent()
    {
        return 'FOSUserBundle';
    }
}

config.yml:

fos_user:
    db_driver: orm # other valid values are 'mongodb', 'couchdb' and 'propel'
    firewall_name: main
    user_class: VillaPrivee\UserBundle\Entity\User

I have also encountered this issue. This video really helped me. https://knpuniversity.com/screencast/fosuserbundle-ftw

in AppKernel.php

This was my mistake:

 $bundles = array(
        new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\MonologBundle\MonologBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\SwiftmailerBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle(),
        new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
        new Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\SensioFrameworkExtraBundle(),
        new AppBundle\AppBundle(),
        new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),
        new \Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User()
    );

This is the problem new \Acme\UserBundle\Entity\User()

Follow the video and you will see that you need something like this

$bundles = array(
        new Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SecurityBundle\SecurityBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\MonologBundle\MonologBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\SwiftmailerBundle(),
        new Symfony\Bundle\AsseticBundle\AsseticBundle(),
        new Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\DoctrineBundle(),
        new Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\SensioFrameworkExtraBundle(),
        new AppBundle\AppBundle(),
        new FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserBundle(),
        new \Acme\UserBundle\AcmeUserBundle()
    );

Here is the AcmeUserBundle class:

// src/Acme/UserBundle/AcmeUserBundle.php
namespace Acme\UserBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class AcmeUserBundle extends Bundle
{
}

The UserBundle\Entity\User class is just like in the documentation

One last thing that I also saw on the view was the orm: entry in the config.yml Notice the auto_mapping: true

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:   "%database_driver%"
        host:     "%database_host%"
        port:     "%database_port%"
        dbname:   "%database_name%"
        user:     "%database_user%"
        password: "%database_password%"
        charset:  UTF8
    orm:
        default_entity_manager: default
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: "%kernel.debug%"
        auto_mapping: true

Hops this will help someone else

Answer 2

Just in case someone gets the same issue as I did, i found out where the problem came from : I'm using a Mac but didn't want to get in trouble using the embedded PHP server. So I decided to use MAMP... Huge mistake! Everything I tried using my terminal was trying to access default PHP instead of MAMP one... Basically, I had to remove MAMP and upgrade my Mac PHP so I could use it together with Symfony. Sorry if I'm not crystal clear, but I don't really understand it all myself...

PS: For those using MAMP, don't be as stupid as I am : your project folder is stored INSIDE your MAMP application folder. So if you trash it, you'll trash all your projects at the same time... Yep, I'm still crying about it!

I think you extend wrong class, try with:

use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;

Edit:

Yep, extending FOS\UserBundle\Entity\User is deprecated, Extend FOS\UserBundle\Model\User directly. Documentation
