How do I make grails run-app recompile files as they are changed?

Question

I thought this was the default behavior, but I have noticed that changed Groovy files don't seem to be auto recompiled.

I'm using Grails 2.3.0

Answer 1

The questions is answered very clearly at Grails 2.3.0 Auto-reloading not working.

Simply use grails -reloading run-app but follow the link get info how to enable forking as well.
