Since method_missing is overridden we should override this as well.

relation.respond_to?(:name)
@param [ Symbol ] name The method name.
@return [ true, false ] If the proxy responds to the method.
@since 2.0.0
Gets the document as a serializable hash, used by ActiveModel‘s JSON and XML serializers. This override is just to be able to pass the :include and :except options to get associations in the hash.
@example Get the serializable hash.
relation.serializable_hash
@param [ Hash ] options The options to pass.
@option options [ Symbol ] :include What relations to include @option options [ Symbol ] :only Limit the fields to only these. @option options [ Symbol ] :except Dont include these fields.
@return [ Hash ] The documents, ready to be serialized.
