The problem was that I had set this in my config.yml
:
# Twig Configuration
twig:
debug: %kernel.debug%
strict_variables: %kernel.debug%
form:
resources:
- 'SonataAdminBundle:Form:silex_form_div_layout.html.twig'
- 'SonataFormatterBundle:Form:formatter.html.twig'
The silex_form_div_layout.html.twig
one overrides form_errors
Twig block, and removing it fixes the problem.
