Auto-Reload feature stopped working

#1

I’m developing a plugin for sublime text 2, and today the auto-reload on save feature has stopped working. In the console I see the file has been written to, but I do not receive the message the module was reloaded. Based on some google searches, I have tried the following;

  • Deleting .pyc files … no difference
  • Restarting Sublime Text 2 - This will reload the plugin, but will not initiate the auto-reload feature
  • Restarting my machine … no difference

I have also considered that my plugin was broken in some way, so I created a new example file using the stub from the new plugin menu. This also does not auto-load.

Does anyone know how to debug this issue, or possibly manually reloading plugins from the Sublime python command line?

I’m unsure of what actually caused this to fail, but the fix seems to have been to remove the installed packages under ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2. I hope this helps someone in the future.

I had this same problem and it turned out to be related to the fact that I was syncing my sublime text files via dropbox as described in this article: andrew.hedges.name/blog/2012/01/ … of-dropbox

As soon as I removed the sym links and used regular folders, my plugin started reloading again.
