you don't have to restart your program

What Is It?

Autoreload reloads libraries automatically at regular intervals when files are updated.

Installing

$ gem install autoreload

The Basics

  # foo.rb
  def foo
    1
  end

  # sample1.rb
  require 'autoreload'

  autoreload(:interval=>1, :verbose=>true) do
    require 'foo'
  end

  loop {
    puts foo
    sleep 1
  }

In this situation, run the script sample1.rb. You see that the number 1 is shown repeatedly. Then, while that is still running, update the file foo.rb. For example, change the number 1 to 2 and save it. AutoReload weill automatically detect the update and reload it. And the number 2 will be shown instead.
