Hey there,

I’m trying to figure out why suddenly my plugins won’t auto reload on  
request anymore. I used to use this code to make it work:

if RAILS\_ENV == ‘development’  
Dependencies.load\_once\_paths.flatten.each do |path|  
Dependencies.load\_once\_paths.delete(path) if path =~ /plugins/  
company\_/  
end  
end

But when it stopped working, I started trying:

Dependencies.load\_once\_paths = []

and it didn’t make a difference.

I have this code in an initializer. I’m using Rails 2.0.1. This  
started happening before I upgraded from edge to stable and the  
upgrade didn’t fix anything. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,  
Rick
