config.enabled config not working

[MichalRemis]

I am using multiple development environments, but I found that rails_live_reload doesn't work in environments named other than "development". I have set the config in initializer:

config.enabled = Rails.env.development? || Rails.env.development_pl? || Rails.env.development_cz?

But it doesn't work. It's probably because initializers/rails_live_reload.rb is evaluated after rails_live_reload/engine.rb is loaded, where there is condition checking this (if RailsLiveReload.enabled? && defined?(::Rails::Server)...), which therefore doesn't use the config from intializer.

Is there please a way to make live reload work in environments other than 'development'?

I am using rails (6.1.4.1) and rails_live_reload (0.3.4)

hmm, interesting case
@MichalRemis can you try to contribute to the gem?

[MichalRemis]

@igorkasyanchuk sorry I am too busy atm.. Maybe I would just remove config.enabled option from docs, since it doesn't work

[igorkasyanchuk]

no, removing it from doc has no value

I would just suggest to wait when you will have time, us or someone else

this setting should be modified

rails_live_reload/lib/rails_live_reload/config.rb

Line 28 in 5b86eb7

@enabled = ::Rails.env.development?

for now you can just fork and edit it by yousefl

[igorkasyanchuk]

and if someone want's to fix, a possible approach can be like this https://github.com/igorkasyanchuk/rails_performance/blob/master/lib/rails_performance.rb#L55-L56

I suppose noone had time yet? I just stumbled over the config option not working, I tried to make it configurable in our project like this:

config.enabled = (Rails.env.development? and (ENV.fetch("DISABLE_LIVE_RELOAD", nil) != "true"))

and also found that the setting seems to have no effect..

Here's a pretty hacky way to disable/enable via environment variable:

if defined?(RailsLiveReload)

  rails_live_reload_enabled = RailsLiveReload.enabled? &&
    (defined?(::Rails::Server) || ENV["SERVER_PROCESS"]) &&
    ENV.fetch("ENABLE_LIVE_RELOAD", "true") == "true"

  RailsLiveReload.configure do |config|
    # config.url = "/rails/live/reload"

    # Default watched folders & files
    # config.watch %r{app/views/.+\.(erb|haml|slim)$}
    # config.watch %r{(app|vendor)/(assets|javascript)/\w+/(.+\.(css|js|html|png|jpg|ts|jsx)).*}, reload: :always

    # More examples:
    # config.watch %r{app/helpers/.+\.rb}, reload: :always
    # config.watch %r{config/locales/.+\.yml}, reload: :always

    # config.enabled = Rails.env.development?
    
    # env ENABLE_LIVE_RELOAD=false bin/dev
    #   or
    # export ENABLE_LIVE_RELOAD=false; bin/dev
    if !rails_live_reload_enabled
      config.instance_variable_set(:@patterns, {})
    end
  end
end
