QueryBuilder has no autocompletion for arguments when getting the Repository from an Entity Service

[jhard]

Say I have the following Service + Repository (the MyEntityRepository is annotated as the RepositoryClass in the Entity)

class MyEntityRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository
{
   public function __construct(ManagerRegistry $registry)
   {
      parent::__construct($registry, MyEntity::class);
   }
}
class MyEntityService
{
   private $entityManager;

   public function __construct(EntityManagerInterface $em)
   {
      $this->entityManager    = $em;
   }
   
   public function getRepository() : MyEntityRepository
   {
      return $this->entityManager->getRepository(MyEntity::class);
   }
}

If if use $myEntityService->getRepository()->createQueryBuilder("m")->andWhere("m."), I won't have auto-complete for the entity properties. If I get the Repository by other means (e.g. $entityManager->getRepository(MyEntity::class)), it works fine A hint to what's happening is that the suggested alias for the query builder isn't "me" or "my_entity" but "mes" or "my_entity_service.get". Even if I explicitly type-hint it, e.g.

/** @var MyEntityRepository $repo */
$repo = $myEntityService->getRepository();
$repo->createQueryBuilder("m")->andWhere("m.")

I get the same result. PHPStorm will tell me that MyEntityRepository is already inferred from the code, and hovering over $repo will confirm as much. Method chaining does work, only the arguments get no auto-suggest support.

Using PHPSTORM_META as I mentioned in https://github.com/Haehnchen/idea-php-symfony2-plugin/issues/1483#issuecomment-716051366 doesn't help either.

Is there any way to make this work? What can I do to provide more information for debugging?

I'm on 2020.3 (Plugin Version 0.21.203), but I believe this wasn't working on 2020.2 either.
