speeding up dev mode

[nahum]

Does anyone have experience with the following:

https://github.com/thedarkone/rails-dev-boost 

https://github.com/paneq/active_reload (rails 3 only)

I've tried similar tools in the past that have caused more trouble than they were worth.

Not for me personally, but I'm curious as to why dev mode + cache_classes = true as needed is not sufficient?

Doing that is fine if you don't make coding changes - otherwise you have to manually restart your app to load the changes. These plugins are ment to be smart and only do that for files which change between requests making the app in dev mode faster.

It's essentially impossible to do this reliably, those plugins do a
pretty good job of making it 'mostly' work, but you'll still hit
things which break randomly or don't reload. The FAQ for rails-dev-
boost has some examples of the things which can't work right.

Also make sure you're not using a gem version with this problem:

Or a ruby with this problem:
