Can Rails console reload modules under lib?
In case anyone interested, here's my findings on how to auto-reload require files in Rails without restarting server.
The solution is now available as a Ruby gem require_reloader.
this is the monkeypatch that could help you, paste this in rails console (or you could put this code in a monkeypatch file - although I don't recommend monkeypatching Object with an utility method):
class Object def self.reload_myself! method = (self.instance_methods(false) + self.methods(false)).select{|method| method.to_s[0] =~ /[A-Za-z]/}.last if method if self.instance_methods(false).index method method = self.instance_method(method) elsif method = self.method(method) end if (method.source_location) source_location = method.source_location[0] puts "reloading: #{source_location}" load "#{source_location}" else puts "could not reload #{self.name}" end end endendand you can call
reload_myself!on any object to reload its source code.
