Helpers not reloaded in development?

[jdelStrother]

If I have a ViewComponent that calls a helper method (eg from app/helpers/application_helper.rb), the helper is normally reloaded on each page load, as expected.

However, if I load the preview page (eg http://localhost:3000/rails/view_components/example_component/default), the helper methods appear to be the helpers as they were at application-boot-time. Changes to app/helpers/application_helper.rb have no effect, and I have to restart my rails server before they're picked up.

Changes to the view-component code (eg app/components/example_component.rb) do get reloaded, however.

Is this expected behaviour? Some side-effect of inheriting the preview controller from Rails::ApplicationController?

@jdelStrother interesting! Would you be up for writing an integration test that reproduces this behavior?

@joelhawksley sure, try #1075 ?
