Interactive debugging of rails models

Rails
1

Hi, How can I debug the models interactively?

When I load the console using “ruby script/console”, the changes in the
models doesn’t get reflected. I have exit the console and reload the
console everytime I make some changes.

Is there a better way?

Thanks, Hari

Use the ‘reload!’ command.
You might lose some variables that you have declared, but you’ll get the
model updated. It’s much quicker than existing and reloading.

Use the ‘reload!’ command.

is there a way to send this reload! message to a running fastcgi
instance? to eg refresh an app in production mode after an update
without restarting apache… or kill -HUP or something (im thinking
something in an admin page that rolls out the update)

Thanks Jim for the tip. But I have noticed the reload command reloads
only the models associated with a database, is there a way to reload all
the models?
