how to use "sinatra/reloader"?

I have my web.rb where I have 

require 'rubygems' 
require 'sinatra'  
require "sinatra/reloader"

Then I start my web application by double click on the web.rb short cut. After any change in web.rb I have to exit the sinatra and run it again.

I thought that "sinatra/reloader" would help me not to manual reaload.

configuration (MS Windows)

  • ruby 1.8.7 (2010-08-16 patchlevel 302) [i386-mingw32]

  • sinatra (1.2.6, 1.0)

  • sinatra-advanced-routes (0.5.1)
  • sinatra-reloader (0.5.0)
  • sinatra-sugar (0.5.1, 0.5.0)
  • thin (1.2.7 x86-mswin32)
Solution

  • if I start my web application from dos prompt via "ruby web.rb" everything works fine

    if I start my web application

    • via double click web.rb or
    • from batch file

    the application starts but sinatra-reload doesn't work

    @nash thank you for your help
