Reloader doesn't work when sinatra is mounted into Rails application.

Reloader doesn't work when sinatra is mounted into Rails application.

App is mounted this way: mount Api2.new, :at => "/api2"

require 'sinatra/base'
require 'sinatra/reloader'

class Api2 < Sinatra::Base

  configure :development do
    register Sinatra::Reloader
  end

  configure :production do

  end

  get '/hello' do
    "hello 2"
  end
end

Changes will cause "Routing Error"

Interesting. Rails comes with a reloader, by the way.

Rails reloader doesn't reload changes in mounted sinatra app

That depends on how you configure the reloader and/or where you place your Sinatra applications.

I haven't performed any configuration in rails. The only thing I've done is mount inside routes.rb. Do you know how can I configure rails to reload sinatra code?

@lexer I did a little research and it seems that reloading doesn't work when both Rails and Sinatra::Reloader try to reload the Sinatra application. I haven't found the reason yet, but for now you can tell Rails to stop reloading your application with:

ActiveSupport::Dependencies.autoload_once_paths << '/path/to/your/sinatra/app'

This works with Rails 3.2, Sinatra 1.3.2 and Sinatra Contrib 1.3.1.

Thanks, I will try.

@ohhgabriel may its better to let rails reload sinatra app, but i haven't found how to do it yet.

Might have a workaround:

Tested with:

rails 3.2.11
sinatra 1.3.3
sinatra-contrib 1.3.2

@ohhgabriel

where to write?

ActiveSupport::Dependencies.autoload_once_paths << '/path/to/your/sinatra/app'

I would recommend using the host application's reloader, in this case Rails.

There have been several solutions suggested here, so I am closing this ticket.
