You have requested a non-existent service "jms_serializer"

Question

I'm trying to use JMSSerializerBundle but the service isn't listed after run app/console container:debug | grep jms_serializer

$ app/console container:debug | grep jms_serializer
jms_serializer.json_deserialization_visitor   container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\JsonDeserializationVisit
jms_serializer.json_serialization_visitor     container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\JsonSerializationVisitor
jms_serializer.metadata.lazy_loading_driver   container Metadata\Driver\LazyLoadingDriver
jms_serializer.metadata_driver                container Metadata\Driver\DriverChain
jms_serializer.naming_strategy                container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\Naming\CacheNamingStrate
jms_serializer.xml_deserialization_visitor    container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\XmlDeserializationVisito
jms_serializer.xml_serialization_visitor      container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\XmlSerializationVisitor
jms_serializer.yaml_serialization_visitor     container JMS\SerializerBundle\Serializer\YamlSerializationVisitor

after install

composer require jms/serializer-bundle

and configure

// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new JMS\SerializerBundle\JMSSerializerBundle($this),
    // ...
);

if thy to use in some place

$this->get('jms_serializer')

I get the error You have requested a non-existent service "jms_serializer".

How I can fix that?

The name of the service is serializer. You should just use the following.

$this->get('serializer');
