symfony2 ("There is no "cssrewrite" filter.") in "base.html.twig"

Question

Small question. I'm learning the symfony2 framework and I get this error

An exception has been thrown during the compilation of a template ("There is no "cssrewrite" filter.") in "base.html.twig".

Do I have to manually activate it somewhere or went there something wrong with the installation processes (running it on windows). Can someone point me in the right direction?

twig:

{% block stylesheets %}
            {% stylesheets filter='cssrewrite'
        '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'
        '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/twbs/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap-theme.css'
        '@blogBundle/Resources/public/css/costom.css'
            %}
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset_url }}"/>
            {% endstylesheets%}
        {% endblock %}

Where is your assetic configuration in this config.yml ?? I don't see it .... Maybe were you in the bad config.yml ? — BENARD Patrick

Since Symfony3, assetic is not included by default, you must install it using composer (which I suspect you did). But you also need to add it to your config.yml like this:

assetic:
    debug: "%kernel.debug%"
    use_controller: "%kernel.debug%"
    bundles: []
    filters:
        cssrewrite: ~
