How to get Sinatra to auto-reload the file after each change?

Question

I am using

# my_app.rb
load \'index.rb\'

and start the sever like this

ruby my_app.rb

but it never relo

Answer 1

gem install sinatra-reloader

require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/reloader'

Note: it will reload only sinatra handlers (and, maybe some sinatra server configuration commands), but not custom files, which you have to reload manually.

UPD after 9 years: seems like it is already possible to reload other files using also_reload, dont_reload and after_reload -- https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/pull/1150
