Sauna.reload with Ubuntu 20.04

Hi all!

I am new to Plone, currently working on a site with Plone version 4.3.14. I have installed sauna.reload to automatically load code. When I run the site with "RELOAD_PATH=src/ bin/instance fg", I get the following message on the console:

2021-08-26 15:13:10 INFO Zope Ready to handle requests

When I make changes to the code, I get the following on the console:

2021-08-26 15:21:17 INFO sauna.reload.parent Got 'modified' event on /home/{addon1}/content/personaldata.py

I understood that sauna.reload "noticed" the changes, but the changes to the code themselves did not affect the site. Only after a new launch of the site, the changes made to the code are displayed on the site.

I will be very grateful for help.

I don't think you can reload .zcml files.

You can BUT...

During normal processing, a zcml file is processed just once -- even if it is included several times. However, if the zcml machinery is call explicitly zcml files can be processed a second time. Most things (utilities, adapters) are overridden during such a repeated processing; however, subscriptions are added (such you may end up with duplicate handlers).

It is also possible to clear the (global) component registry and then redo the complete zcml processing (that it how plone.reload handles zcml updates).
