A few years ago, the situation was: If your class C defines (and not inherits) #initialize on its class side, then #initialize is executed when after being loaded by monticello. I am not sure what is the situation now. Cheers, Alexandre On 26 Apr 2011, at 16:01, Mariano Martinez Peck wrote:

Second, I've seen that problem too. I am sure that when loading a new version of a certain package, some class side #initialize are not called. When? which ones? I have no idea.
I couldn't reproduce it. Can you?
I can't figure it out either, but I haven't really looked deeply into it.
As far as I can tell it just doesn't work: I guess #initialize is only called when the class is new or maybe when its definition is changed, maybe when the #initialize method changes, but certainly not all the time when you load new(er) versions of methods of that class. Maybe that is too much to expect, I don't know, it would be handy.
So when your #initialize calls say #initializeConstants and only that method is changed, you have a problem.
Maybe somebody else knows ?
