Modifying Desert

[Andrei Erdoss]

Can Desert be modified to load files immediately instead of lazily?

Andrei, can you elaborate on what you mean by immediately?
Does this mean Desert will automatically load all models, controllers,
and lib files on project load/reload?

I might have the terminology wrong, but from your post, I got that Desert does lazy loading of files. From talking to the creator of Passenger, I gathered that lazy loading is not optimal to the performance of Passenger.

My question is, can Desert be modified to work better with Passenger? Thanks,

Perhaps Desert can have an option to have eager loading, which will
load the models, controllers, and lib files.
We can even detect if the process is running from Passenger, and by
default, do eager loading.

Would something like this be difficult to implement?

I just released Desert version 0.4.1. This version of Desert included
eager loading.

To use eager loading, add
Desert::Manager.require_all_files in your environment.rb file.

I also added Desert::Manager.all_files, which returns an array of all
of the files on the Desert load path.

Wow. This is awesome. Thank you.

I will incorporated these changes into my app and I will do some testing.

All the best,

Brian,

Thanks for your hard work. I finally got around trying out Desert::Manager.require_all_files  but I am getting:  undefined method `namespace' for main:Object (NoMethodError) What do you think might cause this?

Thanks,

Andrei
