Variable is not updated when YML file changes, even when I use reload!

[swaathi]

Immediately after updating the YML file I call upon the reload! function to make sure the variable I use to read the YML file values are also updated. But the variable is not being reflected fast enough. I am forced to call upon reload! function every time I use the variable just to make sure the correct value is being read. This causes a horrible performance issue since it unnecessarily loads the YML file over and over again.

Can your issue be related to Spring? I can reproduce it like this:

Initially I set AppConfig.test to be 1.
I then go into the console and AppConfig.test would return 1.
Then I change it to 2.
When I go into the console, AppConfig.test still returns 1.
Only after a AppConfig.reload! call would AppConfig.test return 2.
And if I exit the console again and start another console, it would still return 1 (unless I do another reload!.
Calling spring stop can remedy this issue, as the console would not cache the old value after that.

Same here. I would see the new variables in production console, but not a new development console.

spring stop worked
