Private method error using object.entities in Twitter API

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to call tweet.entities in my twitter feed controller.

private method `entities' called for #Twitter::Status:0x94d4bf4

I have no methods called entities in the code, I even did a full file search to check.

I either need to rename the entities part of the object or somehow find where this so called private method is or circumnavigate it somehow. My method within my twitter_feeds controller is as follows:

  def hometimeline
@user = User.find(current_user.id)

tweets = @user.tweeting.user_timeline(count: '10', include_entities: true)


parsed_tweets = []
i = 0

tweets.each do |tweet| 

  more = Hash.new
  more['test'] = tweet
  internal_hash = Hash.new
  mappings = {"source" => "fixed"}

  another = more['test']

  boo = Array(tweet)


  #newhash = Hash[twee.map {|k, v| [mapping[k], v] }]
  #newhash = Hash[more.map {|k, v| [mappings[k], v] }]
  #newhash = Hash[tweet.map {|k, v| [mappings[k] || k, v] }]

  internal_hash['parsed_text'] = tweet.entities

  internal_hash['id'] = tweet.id
  internal_hash['raw_text'] = tweet.text

  internal_hash['name'] = tweet.user.name
  internal_hash['screen_name'] = tweet.user.screen_name
  internal_hash['user_id'] = tweet.user.id
  internal_hash['user_image_url'] = tweet.user.profile_image_url
  parsed_tweets << internal_hash
  i = i + 1
end

respond_to do |format|
  format.json { render json: parsed_tweets }
end

end

Essentially I am sending a set of parsed tweets to the client and want to achieve link wrapping etc. on the server.

Is there any way I can find where the code thinks this method is or is there a way to make it not private or ignore it so I can call tweet.entities.

EDIT: One extra point to note is that I did have an entity model and entities controller but have deleted them and still get this.

Thanks

Turns out this error is caused by the Twitter gem and they have methods for calling the entities object namely, tweet.urls, tweet.user_mentions etc. rather than tweet.entities.user_mentions as I would have thought.
