after investigating why the reloader wasnt working , i discovered 2 probs, one
of which was sorta my fault (but will likely happen to others who make one-file
apps)
first, my app was like this:
#!/usr/bn/env ruby
%w{applib1 applib2 digest/md80 airbus}.each{|r| require r}}
if __FILE__ == $0
Mongrel.config do
handler '/', Camping.reloader.new(__FILE__)
end
end
not exactly sure how it wraps the run request, since it mainly returns a
constant name. but even so, the files are already required. maybe reloader
should record the current $LOADED_FEATURES as soon as its loaded so even stuff
later in the require line gets recorded.. im not sure where camping draws the
line for 'too magic', but i think its somewhere like ' i havent seen a blaze
mark on a tree in a few miles, but theres sort of a path here, maybe made by
native chipmunks, so im going to follow it...'
even as i reworked the app structure on disk, to have a front layer that just
does the launching (defeating the single file thing) it still wasnt loading.
, its matching /^file.basename(scriptname)/,. so unless you have appname.rb
then appname/ for further stuff (which doesnt contain your entire app in a
dir), it breaks. one solution would be to expand the path of the requires, then
compare File.dirname..
anyone have any preferences on whether the former or the latter technique is a
less world-changing solution? would either one break/fix RV / TentSteak /
CampingServer?
