I´m facing a strange error when upgrading Hibernate from 5.3.15 to 5.4.X. The query

SELECT b FROM Base b where b.middle.target.field = :value

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: org.hibernate.QueryException: could not resolve property: field of: org.example.Base [SELECT b FROM org.example.Base b where b.middle.target.field = :value]
