Question

When I start the `Paste’ web server in daemon mode, it seems to kill off it’s ability to reload when the timestamp of a source file is updated.

Here is how I start the daemon…

cd ${project} && ../bin/paster serve --reload --daemon development.ini; cd ..;

…which defeats one of the main points of using Paste (for me).

Has anyone come across this or know what I’m doing wrong?

To be complete, the file that I’m changing is a controller file.

The version is `PasteScript 1.7.3′

Answer 1

I believe that the two options are essentially incompatible, since the reloader stops the server with a SIGTERM and the daemon-ized server is impervious to that — and since daemon is intended for running in a production environment, and reload for a development/debugging environment, I guess that their incompatibility is not seen as a big loss. I imagine a customized reloader, tailored to properly stop and restart the daemonized server, could certainly be developed, but I don’t know of any existing one.
