Rails Spring breaking generators

Question

I\'m setting up my first Rails 4.1 app, which comes with Spring, their new preloader. When I try to install Devise using their generator ($ rails generate devise:insta

Answer 1

You can disable spring for any $ rails command by passing the environment variable DISABLE_SPRING=1.

$ DISABLE_SPRING=1 rails generate devise:install

Alternatively, you can try $ spring stop to spin down the spring processes. Running $ rails generate afterwards will spin up a new spring process, which might solve the temporary issue.
