Running a Rails development firm is great because...

you can find yourself saying, “boy, I sure wish that X could do Y.”

15 minutes later… you find that one of your developers has created a solution and then contributed it as a patch to the Rails project.


./script/console
>> reset!
=> []

Yes… this is just a short-cut to Dispatcher.reset_application! ... but it’s saving me a whole 24 characters each time I need to reset my application while hanging out in script/console.

Thanks Jeremy!

Phil,

You can certainly call this from script/server, but we really just wanted a friendly way to reload the app from script/console. This is just a wrapper to Dispatcher.reset_application! which – as far as I understand – should not affect environment.rb. An olde-fashioned Ctrl-C up return is still required for that. I’m sure you’ve got the reflex by now ;)

OK, say I’ve got script/server running, and I make a change to enviroment.rb. Does this reset only affect script/console, or will it also change what’s going on in script/server?

I prefer the short form, r!
