Rails - Jun 2007 - Rails Development Environment and Reloading Models

Hi,

By default, rails reloads all your models, while in development mode, with
each new request.  Is there anyway to specify that a given model, or models,
should not be reloaded?  This is specific to rails 1.2.3


Thanks,
Steven

As far as I know there is only a way to disable reloading in general.
Why would you need it to be selective?  Are you patching the class in
a way that is being undone?  I am patching several classes and this
has not appeared to be an issue to date.  The only issue has been when
I modify the patches themselves and I need to restart the server to
get environment.rb to be processed again (where some of my patches are
loaded).

Thanks for responding Michael (^_^)

The reason I need specific classes to be reloaded has to do with a plugin
I''m working on. The plugin defines classes on the fly based on info
from a
few db tables--I know this is probably not the best of solutions...  Anyway,
I''m running into problems when rails reloads these particular models.
Everything works find in production mode, but in dev mode I keep getting
const_missing errors as rails can''t find the definitions for my
"dynamic"
classes after a reload.

I did find a work around however.  If you stick stuff in the lib directory
of your app, then it gets loaded only once, regardless of the environment.

Regards,
Steven
