Reloading Guardfile on changes to files other than the Guardfile

Question

Currently, Guard::Setuper reloads just the Guardfile when it changes.

I'm loading some additional code into my guard file (via require), and I'd like to also reload when some of those required files change.

I guess I'm really just looking for a plugin, but that seems like I'd be trying resurrect guard-ego. Is there a better way of accomplishing this?

Answer 1

You could probably try something like this in your Guardfile (using guard-shell):

guard :shell do
  watch(%r{path/to/your/required/files}) { Guard.evaluator.reevaluate_guardfile }
end
