Should I come back come home to Rails? Why is there no live reload?

Hi Sean, I’m also coming back to RoR after being away for some time and I found a previous thread with a recommendation for live reload.

I tested in my local environment and seems to be working fine:

  1. Add rails_live_reload gem to the Gemfile (in development environment)
group :development do
  gem "rails_live_reload"
end
  1. Install dependencies: bundle install
  2. Start the application rails s.

The gem also provides some options to customize the behaviour but it’s optional.
