Originally created by @aik099 on GitHub (Apr 13, 2021).

The entity class (generated mostly by DQL plugin of PhpStorm):

<?php

namespace Company\Project\DoctrineEntity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="Company\Project\DoctrineRepository\ContactUsFormSubmissionRepository")
 */
class ContactUsFormSubmission
{

    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var string
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=30)
     */
    private $firstName;

    /**
     * @var string
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=30)
     */
    private $lastName;

}

Here is how Doctrine ORM is initiated:

// Configure database.
$db_params = array(
   'driver' => 'pdo_mysql',
   'host' => $_SERVER['DB_HOST'],
   'dbname' => $_SERVER['DB_NAME'],
   'user' => $_SERVER['DB_USER'],
   'password' => $_SERVER['DB_PASSWORD'],
);

$config = Setup::createAnnotationMetadataConfiguration(array(__DIR__ . '/src/DoctrineEntity'), false);
$config->addEntityNamespace('App', 'Company\Project\DoctrineEntity');
$entity_manager = EntityManager::create($db_params, $config);
$helper_set = ConsoleRunner::createHelperSet($entity_manager);

Attempt to use orm:schema-tool:create command doesn't create any entities, because instead of resolving @ORM\Entity with the above present use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; line to Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\Entity class it resolves it to Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ORM\Entity class. Since it doesn't exist it's being ignored.

This happens likely due fact, that the simple annotation manager has initialized with a hardcoded Doctrine\ORM\Mapping namespace and isn't aware of the ORM alias under which it's imported.

P.S.
I'm just starting to work with Doctrine ORM, so please excuse my stupid question.

Yes this is how the simple annotation reader works. I believe this is documented, but don't expect any large changes in this, since with PHP 8 attributes, annotations are sort of reaching their end of life
