Since I install rmagick gem, I am getting this list of warnings after each rails or rake command :

Any leads on this?

UPDATE

My Gem file:

 gem "rmagick", "~> 2.13.1"
 gem 'link_thumbnailer'

Answer 1

Instead of removing the rmagick gem in your Gemfile, you can replace the corresponding line with:

gem 'rmagick', require: false

Answer 2

The reason constants are being reinitialized is likely because the rmagick gem is being loaded twice: once as a dependency of link_thumbnailer (in your Gemfile), and once because you are listing 'rmagick' as a Gemfile requirement explicitly.

Try removing the rmagick entry from your Gemfile, which will be loaded anyhow as long as you are using link_thumbnailer
