Need to know which method called you ? Its as simple as:
caller = CallChain.caller_method
Alternatively it could be added to Object, but that would be dirty 😉
class CallChain def self.caller_method(depth=1) parse_caller(caller(depth+1).first).last end private #Stolen from ActionMailer, where this was used but was not made reusable def self.parse_caller(at) if /^(.+?):(\d+)(?::in `(.*)')?/ =~ at file = Regexp.last_match[1] line = Regexp.last_match[2].to_i method = Regexp.last_match[3] [file, line, method] end end end
