PhpStorm Symfony 4 ContactType class not recognized

Question

I have a very annoying problem today. I'm on Macbook Pro, PhpStorm 2017.3.6.

I tried to create a simple Symfony 4 contact form but something goes wrong with PhpStorm, the class "Contact Type" isn't recognized at all. I already tried to:

• Clear and invalidate PhpStorm cache
• Clear Symfony cache
• Reboot the Macbook
• Updated PhpStorm to 2017.3.6

I also tried to create the formType with another names, like TotoType for example and it's working, so its only with ContactType that's not working.

I use git also, so maybe it's a "cache" problem somewhere or a PhpStorm related problem?

<?php

namespace App\Form;

use App\Entity\Contact;
use Symfony\Component\Form\AbstractType;
use Symfony\Component\Form\FormBuilderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\OptionsResolver\OptionsResolver;

class ContactType extends AbstractType
{
    public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
    {
        $builder
            ->add('field_name')
        ;
    }

    public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
    {
        $resolver->setDefaults([
            // uncomment if you want to bind to a class
            //'data_class' => Contact::class,
        ]);
    }
}

I also noticed that PhpStorm highlighted few errors about my Kernel.php file like this screenshot, and I don't know if things are related or not:

The Kernel.php file:

<?php

namespace App;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Kernel\MicroKernelTrait;
use Symfony\Component\Config\Loader\LoaderInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel as BaseKernel;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollectionBuilder;

class Kernel extends BaseKernel
{
    use MicroKernelTrait;

    const CONFIG_EXTS = '.{php,xml,yaml,yml}';

    public function getCacheDir()
    {
        return $this->getProjectDir().'/var/cache/'.$this->environment;
    }

    public function getLogDir()
    {
        return $this->getProjectDir().'/var/log';
    }

    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $contents = require $this->getProjectDir().'/config/bundles.php';
        foreach ($contents as $class => $envs) {
            if (isset($envs['all']) || isset($envs[$this->environment])) {
                yield new $class();
            }
        }
    }

    protected function configureContainer(ContainerBuilder $container, LoaderInterface $loader)
    {
        $container->setParameter('container.autowiring.strict_mode', true);
        $container->setParameter('container.dumper.inline_class_loader', true);
        $confDir = $this->getProjectDir().'/config';

        $loader->load($confDir.'/{packages}/*'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, 'glob');
        $loader->load($confDir.'/{packages}/'.$this->environment.'/**/*'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, 'glob');
        $loader->load($confDir.'/{services}'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, 'glob');
        $loader->load($confDir.'/{services}_'.$this->environment.self::CONFIG_EXTS, 'glob');
    }

    protected function configureRoutes(RouteCollectionBuilder $routes)
    {
        $confDir = $this->getProjectDir().'/config';

        $routes->import($confDir.'/{routes}/*'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, '/', 'glob');
        $routes->import($confDir.'/{routes}/'.$this->environment.'/**/*'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, '/', 'glob');
        $routes->import($confDir.'/{routes}'.self::CONFIG_EXTS, '/', 'glob');
    }
}

Based on screenshot ... the whole ContactType.php file is treated as plain text .. so no wonders that IDE does not recognize that class.

You must have accidentally marked this file as Text. To undo:

• Settings/Preferences | File Types
• Locate Text file type entry in the top list
• Locate and remove offending pattern in the bottom list -- it will be ContactType.php or pretty similar.

Not related to the first issue for sure -- must be something else.
