phased restart not loading new code?

[nicolai86]

Hey,

I just tried out phased restarts with the latest puma beta, v2.0.0.b5 - and they seem to work. At least the workers are being restarted one by one.

Locally everything works fine, but when integrating it into a deployment using e.g. mina, code changes are not loaded.

Now I did not dig into this issue but I'd guess it has something to do with the fact that deployments normally rely on a symlink, e.g. $HOME/current for the latest release. I guess that when this symlink is updated, the workers non the less start in the old release directory.

Any clues on how to fix or nail this issue, @evanphx ?

btw: awesome puma is gaining phased restart support! thx for the great work!

Ah yes. I realized this just as I was going to bed last night. I need to add an option to change the directory inside the worker before loading the app. I've got one other feature to add, so I'll go ahead and fix this and release b6 today.

Any documentation about this feature and cluster mode?

@steverandy I wrote a short blog post about how to use phased restarts just yesterday: http://blog.nicolai86.eu/posts/2013-02-06/phased-restarts-using-puma/

does that help you to get going?

@nicolai86 thank you for that blogpost!

@evanphx thank you for this commit, this was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to switch to puma
