title: Rails dev environment not updating html/css/assets even after restarting server
body: <p>I've been developing a site in rails, everything going relatively smooth. Suddenly my changes to the views and assets no longer show up. I change a stylesheet or some html and reload my browser at <code>http://0.0.0.0:3000</code> and nothing changes. So I restart WEBrick and still nothing's changed. This is even the case if I change an image entirely.</p>
  
  <p>The only way to get the new changes is to precompile the assets:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\me\website&gt;rake assets:precompile
  C:/Ruby193/bin/ruby.exe C:/Ruby193/bin/rake assets:precompile:all RAILS_ENV=production RAILS_GROUPS=assets
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is it showing production as the RAILS_ENV? Maybe my development environment somehow turned into the production environment? But even then I shouldn't need to precompile assets to get changes reflected. Anyway <code>Rails.env.development?</code> returns <code>true</code> and <code>Rails.env.production?</code> returns <code>false</code> in controllers and erb files.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried deleting my /tmp directory to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>I had to add the following line to config/application.rb in order to get Heroku to work with compass:</p>
  
  <pre><code>config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, removing that line didn't help my issue anyway.</p>
