Ruby - editing gem source code has no effect

Question

I'm debugging the nested_set gem which is under C:\Ruby187\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\nested_set-1.6.4\lib\nested_set

I make changes to files in there, but it seems to have no effect when I refresh the page. I deleted the cache file in C:\Ruby187\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\cache to no effect.

Is there some sort of caching I should know about?

If it is rails you need to restart your server

@waitinforatrian in Rails3 just comment it out in your Gemfile and it will disable. With this version you need to run bundle update && rails server to get it to load and disable.

Have you run gem env from the command line to check that's what's being used?
