How to reload gems that you're working on

development.rb

Givmo::Application.configure do
  #...

  # These 2 lines auto-reload couch_record
  # This first line adds our gem's lib directory to the list of directories that will be searched
  # when we encounter a missing constant
  config.autoload_paths += %W(#{config.root}/../couch_record/lib)
  # This line tells rails to unload the root constant (module/class) for our gem on every request
  ActiveSupport::Dependencies.explicitly_unloadable_constants << 'CouchRecord'

end

Gemfile

# load the gem from the local filesystem so we can work on it
gem 'couch_record', :path => '../couch_record'

Thanks!
