There's nothing wrong with your code even in the namespace. The problem is your environment setup, maybe you are still running PHP 8.0 or below instead of PHP 8.1

Enums is a new syntax introduced in PHP 8.1, and not supported in older PHP versions. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected identifier

Please check 'use App\Enum' namespace is imported properly
