With #24179 the default_path configuration key was added. Part of this was to allow bundle overrides in /templates/<BundleName>. However, this doesn't appear to be working for Form templates.

Specifically templates in templates/bundles/BundleName/Form/something.html.twig does not override the original. In my case this is for https://github.com/excelwebzone/EWZRecaptchaBundle but I'm guessing this would apply to any Form templates.

Can you create a small example application that allows to reproduce the issue?

This looks like the referenced bundle use Templating Component and its corresponding syntax to configure the form theme template EWZRecaptchaBundle:Form:ewz_recaptcha_widget.html.twig, which is not compatible with the overriding mechanism of Twig (i.e they are different templates loaders).

In that case you must put your custom template in app/Resources/EWZRecaptchaBundle/views/Form/ewz_recaptcha_widget.html.twig (http://symfony.com/doc/3.4/templating/overriding.html). To use the modern way (templates/bundles/...) the bundle should configure it by using the Twig's syntax instead: @EWZRecaptcha\Form\ewz_recaptcha_widget.html.twig.

Aah gotcha. I completely forgot about the format differences in the template name. That would definitely explain it. I'll go ahead and close this issue.

I had resolved it already by using src/Resources/EWZRecaptchaBundle/views, so at least that works.

It took me half day to finally reach here... if this information could be added to the documentation it would be perfect @yceruto
