plone.reload 0.6

Configuration and code reload without Zope server restarts.

plone.reload

Overview

Configuration and code reload without server restarts.

This code is heavily based on the Products.RefreshNG product found at http://launchpad.net/refreshng.

The original xreload.py written by Guido van Rossum can be found at http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/xreload/xreload.py

It has some enhancements, but those seem to break more code than do any good in a Zope environment with patched in meta classes and monkey patches all over the place.

Usage

While being logged into the ZMI as a Manager user goto /@@zcml_reload on your Zope application root via a browser. If your Zope is configured to listen on port 8080 on localhost this is:

http://localhost:8080/@@zcml_reload

You should see a message:

Global ZCML reloaded.

Subsequent reloads of this page will reload all global ZCML from all packages and products each time.

If you get a Resource not found error, make sure you have loaded this packages configure.zcml file and you really use the ZODB application root and not a Plone site as the base url.

To reload Python code from the file system goto /@@code_reload. You will see a page with the ‘Code reloaded:’ message and a listing of all the modules which were reloaded.

Changelog

0.5 (2008-05-24)

• Merged r20 from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~refreshng-dev/refreshng/dev. This fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/refreshng/+bug/175898. [hannosch]

• Removed various levels of caching which turned out to be premature and caused lots of modules not to be found. [hannosch]

0.4 (2008-03-01)

• Made the code reload available as its own @@code_reload view. [hannosch]

• Integrated xreload.py from RefreshNG and added a first working version of a general manual code reload feature. [hannosch]

0.3 (2008-02-21)

• Fixed caching issues by invalidating all ZODB caches. If you have local site managers spread across multiple FileStorages this might still not work as expected. [hannosch]

• Added cleanup for CMFCore and PAS. [hannosch]

0.2 (2008-01-25)

• Added compatibility with Zope 2.10 / Plone 3.0. [hannosch]
