…logging in now! Ah, a great error: The Doctrine repository “Yoda\UserBundle\Entity\UserRepository” must implement UserProviderInterface. The UserProviderInterface¶ Without the property, Doctrine has no idea how to look up the User. Instead it tries to call a method on our UserRepository. But for that…
