What's this?

Turbo mode makes reloading code fast and easy.

Usage

1. To reload, Ctrl+\ (or kill -SIGQUIT child_pid)
2. Note that 'exit' doesn't quite work at the moment. Use Ctrl+C to exit.
3. To see the list of files that aren't reloadable: puts $SHARED_FEATURES.sort

Setup

Rails

1. TURBO_MODE=true script/console * Files loaded before route initialization won't be reloadable: (e.g. Gemfile, initializers, and any app files referenced during startup) * Files not yet loaded will be reloadable (most models, views, and controllers)

Not Rails

   # a bunch of code that won't be reloadable

  TurboMode.enable! do
    # after_fork hooks:
    # ActiveRecord::Base.clear_all_connections!
  end

  # a bunch of code that will be reloadable

Configuration

1. ENV['TURBO_SIGNAL'] - The signal used to request reloads. e.g. TURBO_SIGNAL=HUP

Things it breaks

1. SIGQUIT is captured. This breaks the exit method, but provides the reload shortcut Ctrl+\
