I've

created new Grails 2.4.3 project

created TestController

set grails.reload.enabled = true in BuildConfig.groovy

run application with grails -reloading run-app

My controller action code:
{code}
def index() {
render "test"
}
{code}
When I change the string test to test2- I see in console (in Eclipse):
{noformat}
..................
|Compiling 1 source files
{noformat}
And after reloading page I see test2 - ok.

But when I try to add new method:
{code}
def test3() {
render "test3"
}
{code}
I see:
[^error.png]

Why? Why there isn't even the url?

Example - action does't exist: [^error2.png]

Interesting thing is - when I create a whole new controller the index action of the newly created controller works...

After a while I decided to go with spring-boot and as a matter of fact - there it's not working either. I think that springloaded is the issue here because it doesn't pick up added new method in @controller

The issue has been reported to Spring Loaded: spring-projects/spring-loaded#10

It looks like a version bump of Spring Loaded will fix this issue (the latest SNAPSHOT of Spring Loaded does not have this issue).

I assume this is with forking disabled? If you do -reload with forking enabled it will enable the agent for the build VM not the forked VM
