React components not reloading when testing

[mockdeep]

I'm not sure if this is an issue with react-rails or spring, or something else, but I'm having a problem that when I use spring rspec, my react components aren't reloaded when I change them in the specs, so I have to run spring stop or just go without spring entirely.

[rmosolgo]

For my part, I suspect our initializers are a bit off. The problem is, I don't ever have this problem (or other possibly-initializer-related problems). Would you mind testing my hypothesis?

You could point your gemfile at the branch in #187 and see if the problem still happens:

gem 'react-rails', github: 'rmosolgo/react-rails', ref: '0baaff7fb67010295630af1bd21bf3749cb64ed1'

I think that would do the trick! I'd love to hear if you can try it and if you see any difference.

Hey @rmosolgo. That doesn't seem to fix the issue for me. However, I have discovered something else. Whether or not it reloads properly seems to depend on the location of the files. If I change a file in /app/assets/javascripts/ it reloads as expected. However if it's nested one level deeper in /app/assets/javascripts/components/ it does not reload. In both cases I'm editing a .jsx file.

do you mind sharing your Gemfile.lock? At least for rails version and react-rails version if you don't want to post the whole thing

Sure, no problem:
