Room db crashing due to column not being found

Question

When running a query to return some data from the room database I am getting this crash on API 23 physical device.

LOGCAT

I have went through the table and model and cannot see the problem. The column name clearly exists.

TABLE

@Entity (tableName = "tableDistortedThinking")
public class TableDistortedThinking {

@PrimaryKey(autoGenerate = true)
private long pkDistortedThinking;

@ColumnInfo(name = "reframingId")
private long fkReframingId;

@ColumnInfo(name = "userId")
private long fkUserId;

@ColumnInfo(name = "allOrNothing")
private Integer allOrNothing;

MODEL

public class ModelPieChart {

private long userId;
private String twistedName;
private Integer allOrNothing;
private Date workoutDate;
private int DistortedThinkingCount;

QUERY

@Query("SELECT TableDistortedThinking.allOrNothing, COUNT(TableDistortedThinking.allOrNothing) AS DistortedThinkingCount, TableDistortedThinking.workoutDate, TableDistortedThinking.userId, TableDistortedNames.distortedName AS twistedName " +
        "FROM TableDistortedThinking " +
        "JOIN TableDistortedNames ON TableDistortedThinking.allOrNothing = TableDistortedNames.pkDistortedNameId " +
        "WHERE TableDistortedThinking.workoutDate >= (1000 * strftime('%s', datetime('now', :dateRange)))" +
        "AND TableDistortedThinking.userId = :userId " +
        "GROUP BY TableDistortedNames.distortedName " +

**They query is very long and is connected by UNION ALL but only this section is really relevant. Any help root causing this crash would be greatly appreciated.

This failure is caused by a Room bug that occurs on devices running API 25 or lower. It is fixed in room version 2.3.0-alpha02. See the description in the Google IssueTracker for more details.
