JRuby-rack not picking up file changes in development environment

Ruby JRuby

I’m experiencing a problem using jruby-rack for development. When I’m
running locally in development mode rack doesn’t seem to pick up any
changes I make to controllers, views or other ruby/rails files.
Goldspike did not have this problem. I’m using an app.war symlink
that points back to the exploded war in the target directory of my
maven webapp (just like I did with goldspike).

Here are some detailed observations

  • Changing a view file directly in target before the first request to
    rails is made works fine.
  • Changing a view file after rails is initialized does not work.
  • Removing a view after rails is initialized causes the “template not
    found” exception
  • Replacing a removed view causes the “old” version to be picked up
    again, not the new file.
  • Bouncing the container fixes everything.

First, is this a known issue or a misconfiguration on my part? I’m
using the recommended filter setup, the application is in
WEB-INF/rails.
Second, if it not a known issue can anyone else replicate the problem?

Thanks,

would you provide your config/warble.rb file and custom web.xml (if
any)?

I’m not using warbler. Custom web.xml at the pastie location above.
I tried moving rails out of /WEB-INF/rails to /rails, but that did
nothing.

Thanks for the assistance!

Seems like this is caused by JRuby-Rack forcefully setting
cache_template_loading = true. I’ve removed that line in the latest
commit. Can you try building JRuby-Rack from trunk and see if the
problem goes away?
