Cells not reloading code in development

[Startouf]

In my development environment my code is no longer reloading automatically. It seems to match my upgrade to cells-rails 0.0.6 and the latest cells. The rest of my app (controllers, Rails views) seems to reload correctly. How can I check the current configuration for cells caching ?

So right now I need to restart the server even if the cell crashes because of a syntax error :'(...

I will try to dig and blame the commit that introduced that...

Check if this is run: https://github.com/trailblazer/cells-rails/blob/master/lib/cell/railtie.rb#L67

Hey, I added a byebug in the Rails.env == 'development' branch but never got any break in my console after restarting the server :S
(Just to make sure I did it somewhat correctly : I had made an initializer where I patched cells code with the content of the file you linked)

EDIT : to be more precise,

    byebug # => breaks
    initializer("cells.development") do |app|
      byebug # => doesn't :S
      if Rails.env.development?
        require "cell/development"
        ViewModel.send(:include, Development)
      end
    end

Any idea where the problem might be ?

cells (4.1.3)
cells-erb (0.0.9)
cells-rails (0.0.6)
kaminari-cells (0.0.4)
trailblazer-cells (0.0.3)

Maybe @timoschilling got an idea?

[Startouf]

When I roll back, up to cells 4.1.1 it still works. The bug was introduced with cells 4.1.2. My version of cells-rails stayed the same, so I guess the bug lies in cells and not cells-rails. SHould the issue be moved to the main repo ?

[apotonick]

It must be fixed here as Cells shouldn't contain any Rails code. What did we remove in 4.1.2?

[contentfree]

This still exists with cells-rails 0.0.7 and cells 4.1.6.

If a cell has a syntax error then reloading seems to work until the file is successfully parsed at which point I have to restart the server to get new changes.

[apotonick]

View or cell class? 🤔

[apotonick]

I don't have time to work on this in the next weeks, it's up to the community to fix it, so give it a go. 😉

[contentfree]

It's the view (`concepts/thing/views/show.haml`). If there's an error it will reload until the error is gone and from then on it requires a server restart to reload the view. I assume it could be fixed by changing/adding something in the railtie.

@Startouf, @contentfree: Can you provide an example application including a Gemfile.lock?

[Startouf]

I'm not working on many cells views anymore since we've developed our new frontend application, and I see in my Gemfile.lock my cells version number is now (4.1.7) and I don't recall having those problems again... maybe @contentfree still has some repro steps ?
