Symfony2+Doctrine2 why is the repository not created?

Question

symfony

the doctrine:generate:entities command does not create a repository.
I describe the actions
I generate an XML description for the existing database:

php app/console doctrine:mapping:import --force AppBundle xml

I create entities using annotations:

php app/console doctrine:mapping:convert annotation ./src

I add an annotation about the repository to the OffersCategories entity :

/**
 * ...
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="AppBundle\Entity\OffersCategoriesRepository")
 */
class OffersCategories { /**/ }

I save and form getters and seters:

php app/console doctrine:generate:entities AppBundle

Eventually:

1. The OffersCategoriesRepository class is not generated.
2. I create manually - also no effect.

Answer 1

I did not find out the reason, I solved the problem by adding a description of the repository to the xml file.
Having executed the command to create entities, everything worked.
