Research direction

Start by comparing the definitions in forwardable-1.3.1/lib/forwardable/version.rb and /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/forwardable.rb, using the warning locations in the report. Reproduce the load scenario and confirm that the duplicate constant warning no longer appears.

Description

Hi at forwardable,

You might want to fix this one:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/forwardable-1.3.1/lib/forwardable/version.rb:3: warning: previous definition of VERSION was here
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.6.0/forwardable.rb:117: warning: already initialized constant Forwardable::FORWARDABLE_VERSION

It actually is the last gem in my bundle
that gives me a warning message like that.
All the other gems cleaned that up already.

Let's bring this forward!
