Auto-reload with Rhino

[mshunj]

Are there guidelines on how to enable auto-reload with Rhino? Currently I can set options(shiny.autoreload =TRUE), change my code, and then on save of app.R, the ui gets updated. This is not ideal, as it should reload on save of any .R module. I've attempted options(shiny.autoreload =TRUE, shiny.autoreload.pattern = glob2rx("./app/**/*.R")) but that seems to break autoreload alltogether. Any guidance here would be appreciated.

Hi @mshunj . The main challenge in auto-reloading in Rhino is caused by box, as it uses cache for modules. Rhino purges cache on application start, but this does not happen if you only reload the application without restarting it. There is already a draft solution in box that should make the auto-reload possible. Once this is incorporated in the box release, we will start working on enabling it in Rhino.
