warning: already initialized constant VERIFY_PEER

Question

When I try to start the server I get the following warning:

/Users/sumitkalra1984/MVP/config/initializers/devise.rb:5: warning: already initialized constant VERIFY_PEER   

My devise file:

OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE if Rails.env.development?  

How do I find where the constant is already defined, and how do I overwrite that definition?

Answer 1

While I cannot find where else the constant is initialized, you can silence the warning by wrapping that line in a silence_warnings block.

silence_warnings do
  OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE unless Rails.env.production?
end
