Rails - Apr 2006 - reloading include-modules inside controller not working

Hi guys,

I would expect an ActionController-derived class to reload _completely_ in
development mode.

class FooController < ApplicationController
  include FancyStuffSupport

  def index
    # bla
  end

  # more actions here

end


However, the ''FancyStuffSupport'' is not reloaded, only the
''FooController''
itself. Can this behaviour be changed? I feel back in Java when I have to
restart the server for every tiny change :-(

Any help appreciated :-)

Best Regards
Peter

Add a require_dependency ''fancy_stuff_support'' to your
controller file.
This will cause a reload on each request. See 
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RequireDependency for more details.
