Reload on view files

This has been working a treat on my inline templates, but all bets are off when I use Roda's view plugin to load templates from files. I have to manually restart each time my templates change.

Perhaps something like Unreloader.watch 'views/**/*.erb' is needed?

Curious how you handle this in your normal dev workflow

rack-unreloader will only look for changes in *.rb files, so it can unload the constants and rerequire the file if a change is detected. So it won't ever look for changes in template files, by design.

With Roda, just use the :cache => false render plugin option in development mode, then templates won't be cached at all. I assume other web frameworks have similar settings.

Nice one!

For anyone else who wants to do this in dev, here is the snippet:

#At top of file
RACK_ENV = ENV['RACK_ENV'] ||= 'development'  unless defined?(RACK_ENV)
# Inside app class
plugin :render, cache: (RACK_ENV!='development')
