Ensuring That The Rails Server Auto-Reloads Files When Using Vagrant
Raw
instructions.md

When using Rails by way of a shared Vagrant folder we need to edit one config file to ensure that the Rails server works properly.

After creating a new Rails application (but before starting the Rails server) the following file in a text editor:

config/environments/development.rb

Change the second last line in this file (line 53) from:

config.file_watcher = ActiveSupport::EventedFileUpdateChecker

To:

config.file_watcher = ActiveSupport::FileUpdateChecker

Save and close this file. The rails server should now work properly.

If this doesn't fully solve the problem, you can also try adding the following to the config/environments/development.rb file:

config.reload_classes_only_on_change = false

WARNING: This may slow down your development server significantly.
