Hi Folks,
I am trying to get my dancer app to restart/reload any time I change a module in my lib directory. I've set auto_reload to 1 in config.yml and have Module::Refresh and Clone modules installed but nothing seems to happen when I make a change to a module in the lib folder and I have to manually restart for my changes to take effect. I am on Perl 5.10.1 and Dancer 1.2002 running on Mac OS 10.6.5.
What am I doing wrong?
I realize that auto_reload isn't meant for production use, but it'd be nice to have my changes loaded automatically on my dev box.
Thanks, Deepak _______________________________________________ Dancer-users mailing list Dancer-users@perldancer.org http://www.backup-manager.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/dancer-users
The auto_reload option is being deprecated and will be removed in future versions. What I do to achieve auto reload is simple by running my app via CGI. This is very easy. If you have created a scaffolded app via the command dancer -a MyApp for example, then it will create a dispatch.cgi script for you in the public folder. To run via CGI, you just need to tell your web server about it. All it takes is something like this: cd /var/www/cgi-bin ln -s /path/to/MyApp/public/dispatch.cgi myapp.cgi The path to your system's cgi-bin folder may be different, but that is the basic idea. Then each time you hit http://localhost/cgi-bin/myapp.cgi, it will reload all the modules. - Naveed Massjouni
