Bundle "ApplicationSonataUserBundle" does not exist or it is not enabled

Edit 2016/09/23 : this answer can be a little outdated. If this doesn't work, you can explore @ashish answer just bellow.

During the Sonata User Bundle setup, you are advised to map doctrine:orm to ApplicationSonataUserBundle, and this cannot be done during sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataUserBundle because the ApplicationSonataUserBundle doesn't exists yet.

So before lauching your sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataUserBundle command, you can comment the ApplicationSonataUserBundle line :

# app/config/config.yml[...]# Doctrine Configurationdoctrine:  [...]  orm:    auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%      entity_managers:        default:          mappings:            # ApplicationSonataUserBundle: ~            SonataUserBundle: ~

Then you launch your sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataUserBundle command,And finally, you remove comments (the #) on ***ApplicationSonataUserBundle: ~ **

Bundle “ApplicationSonataUserBundle” does not exist or it is not enabled error is gone.

Have a good day.

Do following steps before running sonata:easy-extends:generate

(1) comment the ApplicationSonataUserBundle line in config.yaml

    mappings:               # ApplicationSonataUserBundle: ~                SonataUserBundle: ~

(2) replace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\User to Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseUser

(3) replace Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\Group to Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\BaseGroup

(4) run sonata:easy-extends:generate "php app/console sonata:easy-extends:generate SonataUserBundle -d src"

Now revert back step 1, 2 and 3

I got it installed by removing references to Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\User and Application\Sonata\UserBundle\Entity\Group from the config.yml and 'new Application\Sonata\UserBundle\ApplicationSonataUserBundle()' from AppKernel.php.

Then run the easy extends generate command, then put the references in. I think the docs have got these steps a little mixed up. You can't make reference to a bundle in config.yml until it exists.
