Warning: already initialized constant

Rails
1

Hi All,

The Linux box I was using to do my rails development had the hard disk
upgraded and restarted. Now I am getting the following warnings when I
use
script/console or script/server

Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)
/denorm_brag_report.rb:423: warning: already initialized constant
MAIN_CATEGORIES
denorm_brag_report.rb:425: warning: already initialized constant
SUB_CATEGORIES
/denorm_brag_report.rb:432: warning: already initialized constant
TABLE_STD_DESCRIPTIONS
/denorm_brag_report.rb:447: warning: already initialized constant
SUMMARY_NAMES
/denorm_brag_report.rb:455: warning: already initialized constant
REPORT_TYPES
/denorm_brag_report.rb:469: warning: already initialized constant
BRAG_SUMMARY_COLS

I have checked the code and these constants are only used in one place

I have cleared the cache, checked the gems, and anything else I can
think of

Is there anything else I could check

Does your code include the denorm_brag_report.rb file more than once?

hi Michael

I have checked and its not been called anywhere else, but may be im
missing
something simple

it always gives a warning on the last entry of the set of values in
assigned to the constants

I would recommend putting a breakpoint on the line that defines the
constant, and then the second time it gets there have a look at the
call stack to see how it’s ending up there twice.

It might be that this file is somewhere in autoload path (/lib, etc.)
and
you’re also manually requiring it by hand somewhere.
