Websocket controller not being auto loaded in Rails dev environment - ruby-on-rails

Question

So I've been having this problem for sometime since I started working with the websocket-rails gem. Apparently it can't autoload my 'broadcast controller' and is preventing me from running rails commands on the command line.
I used to get around this be commenting out the events file and getting things to load. Its honestly a crapshoot, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but lately I havn't been getting it to work, I've been trying to debugg this for a while but honestly I'm stuck.
This only happens in development.
Anyone have any ideas?
Here is the error stack:

# Uncomment and edit the next line to handle the client connected event:
# subscribe :client_connected, :to => Controller, :with_method => :method_name
#
# Here is an example of mapping namespaced events:
# namespace :product do
# subscribe :new, :to => ProductController, :with_method => :new_product

Figured it out, the spring servers was hanging, solved by doing this:
spring stop
