When using scripts/console, changes made to any classes/methods in my  
application files do not reflect in the console until i restart it. I  
verified that RAILS\_ENV is indeed set to development. Isn’t that  
supposed to reload the app on every call? is the console different?

Thanks,  
Sebastian

Indeed, I’m having the same problem…  
Maybe there is a command so we could force it to reload?
