Zeus not reloading code changes in model files in Rails

Question

I've recently discovered Zeus and it's fantastic really speeds up my feedback loop when developing it's just that when I'm making changes to my model like adding a new method Zeus doesn't restart and the new method isn't loaded.

I'm not sure where to start debugging but I'm using Rails 4.0.2, ruby 2.0.0p353 and Rspec + Capybara for testing.

Anyone have any ideas or help that would be fantastic.

Thanks a lot

If you are using unicorn this could be your problem. Try using thin instead

Zeus: Reloads models correctly when modifying callbacks and scopes, which is not always the case for servers with hot-reload, such as Unicorn. It also reloads views when writing integration specs.(source)

You may also need to reconfigure foreman. Check this thread for information on foreman support with Zeus: https://github.com/burke/zeus/issues/92
