JDL for the Entity configuration(s) `entityName.json` files generated in the `.jhipster` directory

JDL entity definitions

entity ApplicationUser {
  additionalField Integer min(42) max(42)
}

dto ApplicationUser with mapstruct

Overview of the issue

When generating and building the application (using JDL below) the presence of the entitySuffix pragma makes the compilation fail with:

src/main/java/com/othersystem/sample/repository/search/ApplicationUserSearchRepository.java:[38,19] cannot find symbol
  symbol:   class ApplicationUserRepository
  location: class com.othersystem.sample.repository.search.ApplicationUserSearchRepositoryInternalImpl

Tried this with entitySuffix false and with entitySuffix anysuffix. Removing the pragma makes the compilation pass.

Motivation for or Use Case

jhipster export-jdl produce a JDL file with the pragma set to false. Using just this JDL doesn't allow to reproduce the application.

Reproduce the error

With the JDL given below:

jhipster jdl ${application_jdl}
./mvnw

Suggest a Fix

Don't have a fix. But removing the pragma alltogether avoids the problem.
