Doctrine fails to update schema. "Nothing to update" (Symfony 3.4.8) - php

Question

I've recently created an Entity with php bin/console doctorine:generate:entity. After creation, I've tried to update my schema with php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force but got an output of:
Nothing to update - your database is already in sync with the current entity metadata.
Things I've already tried:
php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql
Same output
php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-metadata
Ran, but nothing changed
Clearing cache multiple times
Nothing
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:info
output:
[OK] FOS\UserBundle\Model\Group
[OK] FOS\UserBundle\Model\User
Entity in question:
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="WeeklyPaymentReport")
*/
class WeeklyPaymentReport
{
/**
* #var int
*
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
private $id;
/**
* #var int
*
* #ORM\Column(type="integer", nullable=true)
*/
private $bbid;
/**
* #var String
* #ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, nullable=true)
*/
private $request;
/**
* #var \DateTime
*
* #ORM\Column(name="dateOfBirth", type="date", nullable=true)
*/
private $date;
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
public function setBbid($bbid)
{
$this->bbid = $bbid;
return $this;
}
public function getBbid()
{
return $this->bbid;
}
public function setRequest($request)
{
$this->request = $request;
return $this;
}
public function getRequest()
{
return $this->request;
}
public function setDate($date)
{
$this->date = $date;
return $this;
}
public function getDate()
{
return $this->date;
}
}
Doctrine also generated:
namespace AppBundle\Repository;
/**
* WeeklyPaymentReportRepository
*
* This class was generated by the Doctrine ORM. Add your own custom
* repository methods below.
*/
class WeeklyPaymentReportRepository extends \Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository
{
}
And also .orm.php for it:
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadataInfo;
$metadata->setInheritanceType(ClassMetadataInfo::INHERITANCE_TYPE_NONE);
$metadata->customRepositoryClassName = 'AppBundle\Repository\WeeklyPaymentReportRepository';
$metadata->setChangeTrackingPolicy(ClassMetadataInfo::CHANGETRACKING_DEFERRED_IMPLICIT);
$metadata->mapField(array(
'fieldName' => 'id',
'type' => 'integer',
'id' => true,
'columnName' => 'id',
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'columnName' => 'bbid',
'fieldName' => 'bbid',
'type' => 'integer',
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'columnName' => 'request',
'fieldName' => 'request',
'type' => 'string',
'length' => 255,
));
$metadata->mapField(array(
'columnName' => 'date',
'fieldName' => 'date',
'type' => 'datetime',
));
$metadata->setIdGeneratorType(ClassMetadataInfo::GENERATOR_TYPE_AUTO);
What else can I try?
Thank you for your help in advance!

Okay, so right after posting, I've found a post i've never been recommended before which solved the problem.
It's the last sentence, that solved my case.
"After deleting John.orm.php file if i run php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force then it will generate tables."
Kinda weird solution, I hope I dont encounter weird anomalies in future developments because of it.
