Answer 1

$this->createForm() expects first argument to be the class name of the form you want to instantiate.

Replace:

$form = $this->createForm(new PrestationType());

with

// for PHP 5.5+
$form = $this->createForm(PrestationType::class);
// for older versions
$form = $this->createForm('bundle\FrontBundle\Form\Type\PrestationType');
