Rails Console: reload! not reflecting changes in model files? What could be possible reason?
Earlier it was working fine. I have been playing little bit config. So may be i have changed some config unknowingly.
here is config of environment/development.rb
config.cache_classes = false
# Log error messages when you accidentally call methods on nil.
config.whiny_nils = true
# Show full error reports and disable caching
config.consider_all_requests_local = true
config.action_view.debug_rjs = true
config.action_controller.perform_caching = false
# Don't care if the mailer can't send
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false
# Print deprecation notices to the Rails logger
config.active_support.deprecation = :log
# Only use best-standards-support built into browsers
config.action_dispatch.best_standards_support = :builtin
# migration prefix with sequence #s
config.active_record.timestamped_migrations = false
#time zone
config.time_zone = 'UTC'
Here is config section of application.rb
# Configure the default encoding used in templates for Ruby 1.9.
config.encoding = "utf-8"
# Configure sensitive parameters which will be filtered from the log file.
config.filter_parameters += [:password]
config.active_record.schema_format = :sql
when i run reload! on rails console it return true
Solution 1:
reload!
only reloads the latest code in the console environment. It does not re-initialize existing objects.
This means if you have already instantiated any objects, their attributes would not be updated - including newly introduced validations. However, if you create a new object, its attributes (and also validations) will reflect the reloaded code. more here
Solution 2:
Are you reloading the object from the database?
For example:
>> a = User.last
=> #<User id: 16, email: "[email protected]">
>> reload!
Reloading...
=> true
'a' won't reflect any changes to your model until you reload it from the db.
