Catchable Fatal Error: An object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class cannot be converted to a string

Question

I got an error when I want to open a simple page. This is a complete error:

ContextErrorException: Catchable Fatal Error: An object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class cannot be converted to a string in / Applications / mampstack -5.4.20-0 / apache2 / htdocs / engelsvandenbroecke / vendor / symfony / symfony / src / Symfony / Component / Security / Core / Authentication /Token/AbstractToken.php line 70

What I did in my symfony project:

• Creating Entities from the Database
• Change user object for security
• Edit security.yml
• Two data files added

This is my user class:

Answer 1

This error usually means that you are trying to deserialize an object without a loaded class for that object. Therefore, you must somehow define this class (for example, include it in a file), and then deserialize it.

Answer 2

For me, help'd clearing the cache / cookies in the browser. (An old version of the user object was saved in the browser session).
