FOSRestBundle: Using FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations\View throws exception in Symfony 4

I’m migrating from Sf 3 to Sf4, this is how my controller looks like

use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations\Post;
use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations as Rest;

... some code

    /**
     * @Post("/users")
     * @Rest\View(statusCode=201)
     */
    public function registerAction(Request $request)
    {
          ... some action
    }

And then I receive this exception:

Warning: ReflectionObject::__construct() expects parameter 1 to be object, null given in vendor/friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle/EventListener/ViewResponseListener.php line 162

This same code works on Symfony 3.3.10. Also - when I remove this - @Rest\View(statusCode=201) then everything works.

I’m using FOSRestBundle v2.3.0

I noticed that Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\EventListener\TemplateListener::onKernelController is not being executed. This may be crucial as there is this line: $template->setOwner($controller); which - not called - causes error in ViewResponseListener. Maybe I have not configured something properly yet, I’ll check it.

EDIT: Ok, so I found the cause. In Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\DependencyInjection\Compiler\OptimizerPass::process there is this line:

        if (!$container->hasDefinition('twig')) {
            $container->removeDefinition('sensio_framework_extra.view.listener');
        }

which I think everyone understands by now what is doing. When I commented this out - it worked. Funny thing - due to the fact that twig was by default in Sf 3.3.10 this was not the issue. But right now FOSRest depends heavily on that. Unless there is another way of doing what I’m doing 😉
