'Symfony authentication (You cannot refresh a user from the EntityUserProvider)

After authentication , when I enter the right username/password I'm redirected to a new page ( driverspace/dashboard ) with this error : 

You cannot refresh a user from the EntityUserProvider that does not contain an identifier.
 The user object has to be serialized with its own identifier mapped by Doctrine.

And the symfony bar shows : "You are not authenticated" ..

Here my security.xml firewalls:

    driver_firewall:
        pattern: ^/driver
        form_login:
            provider: user_db
            login_path: /driver/login
            check_path: /driver/login_check
            remember_me: true
            always_use_default_target_path: false
            default_target_path:            /driverspace/dashboard
            target_path_parameter:          _target_path
            use_referer:                    false
        logout:
            path: /driver/logout
            target: /
        remember_me:
            key: MiPassphrase
            lifetime: 1800
            path: /.*
            domain: ~
        security: true
        anonymous: true
    main:
        pattern: ^/
        form_login:
            provider: fos_userbundle
            csrf_provider: form.csrf_provider
        logout:       true
        anonymous:    true

PS : I have 2 Type of user , so i worked with fos to manage one and the basic authentication to manage the other , EDIT : Driver ENTITY 

class Driver extends BaseUser implements \FOS\UserBundle\Model\UserInterface

Solution 1:[1]

I solved the problem by :

1- Changing idDriver to id , because the driver class extends BaseUSer

2- adding :

 public function serialize() {
    return serialize($this->id);
    }

    public function unserialize($data) {
    $this->id = unserialize($data);
    }

I hope this solution will help someone

Adding this answer because it might help someone. You can also have this error after deleting a user and redirecting him to a login page. In this case, before redirecting, one should invalidate its session:

$request->getSession()->invalidate();
$this->tokenStorage->setToken(); // TokenStorageInterface

return $this->redirectToRoute('login');

Solution 3:[3]

This is for someone who uses Symfony 4 REST API and gets this error. This is because of the stateless flag being false in the security.yml and it needs to be true.

login:
    pattern:  ^/login
    stateless: true
    anonymous: true
    json_login:
        check_path: /login_check
        success_handler: app.jwt_token_authenticator.success
        failure_handler: app.jwt_token_authenticator.failure

Hope this helps someone, Cheers.
