Rails 3 development environment keeps caching, even without caching on?

Question

i have a `rails` 3 app in dev mode that won't load any changes i make when its running webrick. i triple checked the settings for my `development.rb` and made sure i am running in development mode. ``` config.cache_classes = false config.action_controller.perform_caching = false ``` i also checked my `tmp` directory to make sure the cache folder is empty - i have yet to do any caching on the site and have never turned on caching. im guessing its a loading problem with the files. also i was running on `webrick` then installed mongrel and the problem still persists. im guessing ive run into a config problem, bc i dont see anyone else posting such a prob. anything else im missing? EDIT: it looks like my view helpers aren't auto loadable - aren't helpers by default supposed to be reloadable in rails 3?

Accepted Answer

I've had a similar experience, but I don't believe it was with an actual helper class, it was with anything I wrote under the `lib/` directory. If you've had to use a `require 'some_class'` statement, then you should switch it to:

```
require_dependency 'some_class'
```

Worked like a charm for me.
