Symfony Doctrine custom repository method not visible

I have a class named ServiceUser which is declared as follows

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * ServiceUser
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="serviceuser")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="AppBundle\Repository\ServiceUserRepository")
 * 
 */
class ServiceUser

I also have a ServiceUserRepository which has inside it a custom repository method named findAllOrderedByName

namespace AppBundle\Repository;

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;
/**
 * ServiceUserRepository
 *
 * This class was generated by the Doctrine ORM. Add your own custom
 * repository methods below.
 */
class ServiceUserRepository extends EntityRepository
{
    public function findAllOrderedByName()
    {
        return $this->getEntityManager()
            ->createQuery(
                'SELECT s FROM AppBundle:ServiceUser s ORDER BY s.officeName ASC'
            )
            ->getResult();
    }
}

My problem is that this custom method is not accessible in the ServiceUserController.

I'm trying to do this

public function indexAction()
{
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $serviceUsers = $em->getRepository('AppBundle:ServiceUser')->findAllByName();
    return $this->render('serviceuser/index.html.twig', array(
        'serviceUsers' => $serviceUsers,
    ));
}

It can see the OOB methods like get findALL() but not my custom method findAllOrderedByName()

thanks to Cerad for pointing me in the direction of clearing the metadata cache.

In case anyone else has the same issue the following command does this

php bin/console doctrine:cache:clear-metadata
