How to reload authorization rules?

[Bishma Stornelli]

I'm trying to store roles and permissions in the database and it's working fine. The only problem I have is that I need to reload the server for changes to take effect.

Is there a way to force Declarative Authorization to reload the authorization rules?

I tried modifying Authorization::Engine.instance like this:

def self.instance (dsl_file = nil)

    @@instance = new(dsl_file)

end

And it works but it reload rules on every request. I could accept that but when I'm testing with cucumber, I don't know why it doesn't work.

My scenario start like this:

  Given I am authenticated as "<email>"

  And I am authorized to "<permission>"

  When I visit the "<page>" page

If I use at that point save_and_open_page I get the not authorized error. It works fine out of cucumber. Any thoughts?

Pull down the latest code from github as there are some fixes to the auto-reloading of rule files in dev mode.. Take a look at that code to see how lazy-reloading of rules only when they change can work.

Specifically this commit.  https://github.com/stffn/declarative_authorization/commit/a5e6beac067e8339c73b76498a4fa817ba786ba6

Thank you very much.

That wasn't what I need but gave me the idea to make it.

I fork the repo and made a little change here: https://github.com/bishma-stornelli/declarative_authorization/commit/b508c3c008ed4b72e9fe2ec7802bfafbc6c4590b

It allows me to use this code in my Role class:

def reload_authorization_rules

    Authorization::Engine.force_reload

end

And now I can have my roles and permissions stored in the database and updated after_save roles.
