Hi,

I am working in development mode; however, I have to restart the  
webbrick server in order to pick up any changes. (Even for a simple  
change in views)

Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you very much

Victor

I think, you should check your config\environments\development.rb file.  
It should contain:  
config.cache\_classes = false

This is my development.rb

config.cache\_classes = false

# Log error messages when you accidentally call methods on nil.

config.whiny\_nils = true

# Enable the breakpoint server that script/breakpointer connects to

config.breakpoint\_server = true

# Show full error reports and disable caching

config.action\_controller.consider\_all\_requests\_local = true  
config.action\_controller.perform\_caching = false  
config.action\_view.cache\_template\_extensions = false  
config.action\_view.debug\_rjs = true

# Don’t care if the mailer can’t send

config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = false

Thank you Sergey,

config.cache\_classes = false is already set in development.rb, but I  
still have to restart the server to pick up the changes.
