app is not reloading in development mode

[Adrian Duyzer]

My development version of Sinatra seems to be running in production
mode even when I am in development mode, developing locally, as
changes to my app file are not reflected until I restart the
application.

I know that I am in development mode because it starts with this
message:

== Sinatra/0.9.2 has taken the stage on 4567 for development with
backup from Mongrel

I have the simplest possible setup right now because I just started a
new project that has really nothing in it, just a single action (plus
the requires at the top):

get '/' do
haml :index
end

If I change haml :index to just:

"yo"

Nothing happens - my app continues to render index.haml. If I
restart, it renders the text "yo" as expected. The same thing happens
if I put garbage into the code that would normally cause the app to
fail to run, or if I put debugger statements in, etc.

This is for a little photo gallery I'm hacking together that I just
put up on Github so if you wish to review my code, by all means go
ahead (there's not much there!):

I am running the latest gem versions of Sinatra, Haml, Rack and
Mongrel.

Reloading is no longer supported in Sinatra.

I use rack reloader.

In my app:

module MyApp
class Reloader < Rack::Reloader
def safe_load(file, mtime, stderr = $stderr)
App.reset! if File.expand_path(file) == File.expand_path
(App.app_file)
super
end
end

class App < Sinatra::Application
configure :development do
use Reloader
end
end

end

I installed rerun on Windows by -

E:\>gem install rerun
Successfully installed rerun-0.2.1
1 gem installed
Installing ri documentation for rerun-0.2.1...
Installing RDoc documentation for rerun-0.2.1...
E:\>

My simple Sinatra file (myapp.rb) is -

# myapp.rb
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
'Hello'
end

When I type the following to run this app, I get -

E:\sinatra_programs>rerun myapp.rb
E:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rerun-0.2.1/lib/system.rb:7:

What am I doing wrong? All help appreciated. Thanks.

At this point, my only answer is: "Using Windows." :-)

I'll look into it in more detail when I get access to a windows box.

As I feared, the Windows version of Ruby does not support "fork" so Rerun won't work on that platform. I'll update the docs to make that clear.
