Custom FOSUBUserProvider not working properly - symfony

Question

I've been following the instruction here: https://gist.github.com/danvbe/4476697, I have read the entire thread more than once, but I'm not getting a solution for my problem.
I want to use the oauth bundle just for account linking, persisting the user data from oauth provider. My users will not be authenticated using oauth.
Nevertheless, I have implemented the whole thing to see if it works with github as provider, but nothing. I'm able to go to the authorization page, but when I click on Allow Access, I'm inevitable redirected to the login page with this error No oauth code in the request.
If stop using the custom FOSUBUserProvider and change to the default HWI one, then I get the app registered in Github but cannot persist the data.
Important: I tried replicating exactly the FOSUBUserProvider from HWI and the same problem remained, so probably is not related it's implementation but maybe with the service definition or the config.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
These are the relevant files:
FOSUBUserProvider.php
class FOSUBUserProvider extends BaseClass
{
/**
* {#inheritDoc}
*/
public function connect(UserInterface $user, UserResponseInterface $response)
{
$property = $this->getProperty($response);
$username = $response->getUsername();
//on connect - get the access token and the user ID
$service = $response->getResourceOwner()->getName();
$setter = 'set'.ucfirst($service);
$setter_id = $setter.'Id';
$setter_token = $setter.'AccessToken';
//we "disconnect" previously connected users
if (null !== $previousUser = $this->userManager->findUserBy(array($property => $username))) {
$previousUser->$setter_id(null);
$previousUser->$setter_token(null);
$this->userManager->updateUser($previousUser);
}
//we connect current user
$user->$setter_id($username);
$user->$setter_token($response->getAccessToken());
$this->userManager->updateUser($user);
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function loadUserByOAuthUserResponse(UserResponseInterface $response)
{
$username = $response->getUsername();
$user = $this->userManager->findUserBy(array($this->getProperty($response) => $username));
//when the user is registrating
if (null === $user) {
$service = $response->getResourceOwner()->getName();
$setter = 'set'.ucfirst($service);
$setter_id = $setter.'Id';
$setter_token = $setter.'AccessToken';
// create new user here
$user = $this->userManager->createUser();
$user->$setter_id($username);
$user->$setter_token($response->getAccessToken());
//I have set all requested data with the user's username
//modify here with relevant data
$user->setUsername($username);
$user->setEmail($username);
$user->setPassword($username);
$user->setEnabled(true);
$this->userManager->updateUser($user);
return $user;
}
//if user exists - go with the HWIOAuth way
$user = parent::loadUserByOAuthUserResponse($response);
$serviceName = $response->getResourceOwner()->getName();
$setter = 'set' . ucfirst($serviceName) . 'AccessToken';
//update access token
$user->$setter($response->getAccessToken());
return $user;
}
}

Answer 1

Well, after a lot of try and error, I found the problem:
The callback URL in Github was: http://mywebsite/login/check-github but that was wrong. The truth is that I never found what this value had to be set up to, so I was guessing. By accident I discovered the right URL: http://mywebsite/connect/service/github applicable in my case, with my configuration.
I found it in one of the times in wich I tried the default HWI Provider, inspecting the redirects with the browser console.
