Silex "There is no user provider for user" how to configure security - silex

Question

$app->register(new SecurityServiceProvider(), array(
'security.firewalls' => array(
'admin' => array(
'pattern' => '^/',
'form' => array(
'login_path' => '/login',
'check_path' => '/login_check',
'always_use_default_target_path' => true,
'default_target_path' => '/profile'
),
'logout' => true,
'anonymous' => true,
'users' => function () use ($app) {
return new \App\UserProvider($app['dbs']['mysql']);
},
),
),
'security.access_rules' => array(
array('^/profile', 'ROLE_USER')
)
));
In a Silex 2 application I have been able to authenticate a users credentials in the login_check, but then on redirect is the dreaded (for me) Runtime exception "ContextListener.php line 74 There is no user provider for user "Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User".
(my 'standard' User provider class)
class UserProvider implements UserProviderInterface {
private $conn;
public function __construct(Connection $conn)
{
$this->conn = $conn;
}
public function loadUserByUsername($username)
{
// $app['monolog']->addInfo(sprintf("User '%s' registered.", $username));
$stmt = $this->conn->executeQuery('SELECT * FROM users_wet4 WHERE email = ?', array(strtolower($username)));
if (!$user = $stmt->fetch()) {
throw new UsernameNotFoundException(sprintf('Username "%s" does not exist.', $username));
}
return new User($user['email'], $user['password'], explode(',', $user['roles']), true, true, true, true);
}
public function refreshUser(UserInterface $user)
{
if (!$user instanceof \App\Security\User) {
throw new UnsupportedUserException(sprintf('Instances of "%s" are not supported.', get_class($user)));
}
return $this->loadUserByUsername($user->getUsername());
}
public function supportsClass($class)
{
return $class === 'Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User';
}
}
I've searched across it seems every instance of this issue, and it looks like the most common resolution in a Symfony installation is configuring security to point to the custom user provider, but I have not seen any examples for silex differently than the way above:
'users' => function () use ($app) {
return new \App\UserProvider($app['dbs']['mysql']);
},
(I've seen this in a security.xml file for symfony, is this kind of provider config what is missing?)
providers:
main:
entity: { class: FredUtilisateurBundle:User, property: login }
Is there anyone who can help me with the logic of the 'no user provider' after being authenticated?

Ok solved it, problem was actually here:
if (!$user instanceof \App\Security\User) {
should have just been User.
if (!$user instanceof User) {
or whatever Custom User you might have created.
\App\MyUser
