why Rails call a method does't exist in current version(4.2.0)? -

i works on rails project, using rails 4.2.0, gemfile:

gem 'rails', '4.2.0' # other gems......... 

we have these 2 models:

class shop < activerecord::base   has_many :shop_categories end  class shopcategory < activerecord::base   # has column named "shop_id"   belongs_to :shop    def self.some_max(shop)     # line number: 33     where(shop: shop).maximum(:some_value)   end end 

and have generator, call "some_max" method on shopcategory:

# simplified, shop = shop.first # lib/generators/shop/build/build_generator.rb:36 shopcategory.some_max shop 

and generator invoked code inside our rails application:

# app/services/shop_service.rb:8 rails::generators.invoke 'shop:build', [..params..] 

and error:

  nomethoderror (undefined method `convert_value_to_association_ids' activerecord::predicatebuilder:class):   composite_primary_keys (8.1.3)

i understood errore happened when rails try convert line:

where(shop: shop).maximum(:some_value) 

to that:

# when change line above this, error disappeared where(shop_id: shop.id).maximum(:some_value) 

also, checked rails document, , found activerecord::predicatebuilder has class method called "convert_value_to_association_ids" in rails version 4.2.1, not in 4.2.0. why rails call method does't exist in current version(4.2.0)? have environment of generator invoking? in advance.

===========================================

update: in rails project, run "bundle show activerecord", give me path activerecord gem, , follow path, open file in "lib/active_record/relation/predicate_builder.rb", , can't find class method "convert_value_to_association_ids" in file.

the error coming composite_primary_keys, v8.1.3, not rails/activerecord:

value = convert_value_to_association_ids(value, primary_key) 

it uses method, though depends on activerecord 4.2.0, in method does not yet exist. it's bug in version of composite_primary_keys gem.
