Symfony2 Could not load type EntityType

I have a problem when I'm trying to create an EntityType field in my Symfony2 form type.

This is the piece of code from the official EntityType reference in Symfony2 manual:

use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType; 

...

$builder->add('users', EntityType::class, array(
        'class' => 'AppBundle:User',
        'choice_label' => 'username',
    ));

Going back to the browser I'm getting the Could not load type "Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType" error.

The EntityType class exist in the given namespespace.

Do I need to get some aditional extensions for this field type?

The EntityType class is not located in the common Type classes folder (Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\), but in Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\

So if you are using Symfony 3 or Symfony 2.8 and the EntityType::class syntax, you must put

use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\Type\EntityType;

What version of Symfony are you using?

This FooBarType::class thing is new in Symfony 2.8 and 3.x, older versions do not support it. Try replacing EntityType::class by 'entity' and see if that works. When you upgrade to Symfony 2.8 you may use the FQCN and from 3.x this will be the only option.
