Symfony error The class XXX was not found in the chain configured namespaces XXX

Question

By default, the auto_mapping feature looks for entities under the Entity namespace, so given that your entity is not there, Doctrine does not know anything about it.

You need to put your entity under the Entity namespace or configure Doctrine by hand to add your custom entity namespace. This way you lose the auto_mapping feature, so you would need to register every bundle manually:

orm:
    auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
    entity_managers:
        default:
            mappings:
                MyBundle:
                    type: annotation
                custom_mapping:
                    type: annotation
                    prefix: Client\IntranetBundle\LDAP\
                    dir: "%kernel.root_dir%/src/Client/IntranetBundle/LDAP/"
                    is_bundle: false

As you can see, it's better to put everything under the Entity namespace in your bundle and let Doctrine do the hard work.

My mistake was that I forgot to add distant bundles/bundles in "vendor" inside my AppKernel file.

They weren't registered in the registerBundles() method.

Your bundle should be mapped with correct entity managers you are using for service / command / api in config/packages/doctrine.yaml (Symfony4) config file.

For example In following doctrine config, BundleName is mapped with default entity managers so code using default entity managers doctrine connection can access and use BundleName's entities and repositories.

orm:
    entity_managers:
        default:
            mappings:
              BundleName:
