Getting the current module(s), class name and method in Ruby 1.9

Hi, first of all I’m sorry since I already did this question some time
ago
(but I ca’t find it now).

Basically I want the following:


module MyModule

class MyClass
def show_log
puts “I’m here: ###### FIXME ######”
end
end

end

my_class = MyModule::MyClass.new
my_class.show_log
=> I’m here: MyModule::MyClass#show_log

When I did this question I remember that it was not possible with Ruby
1.8 but
it was feasible in Ruby 1.9.

Could you please show me how to get it?
Thanks a lot.

Something I prefer to use is the LINE and FILE constants. They
work a treat!

That’s ok, but it’s not what I’m looking for.
Basically I want a logger that shows the current module(s), class name
and
method name.

Thanks.

end

module MyModule
class MyClass
def show_log
puts “#{self.class}.#{this_method}”
end
end
end

MyModule::MyClass.new.show_log # => MyModule::MyClass.show_log

Fantastic! Thanks a lot.

Hi,

The following works in both 1.8.6 and 1.9.1 (calling_method is by
Robert K. - see ruby-talk 205150 & 205950).

module Kernel
private
def calling_method(level = 1)
caller[level] =~ /`([^‘]*)’/ and $1
end

def this_method
calling_method
end
end

module MyModule
class MyClass
def show_log
puts “#{self.class}.#{this_method}”
end
end
end

MyModule::MyClass.new.show_log # => MyModule::MyClass.show_log

Regards,
Sean

module MM

MM::AA.class_method
=> “MM::AA.class_method”

MM::AA.new.instance_method
=> “MM::AA#instance_method”

Hi again. Wouldn’t make sense to have such features in Ruby core instead
of
having to parse “caller[0][/`(.*)’/, 1]” and so?

Is it possible to open a feature request for it? or is it too late for
such
wishes in 1.9?

Thanks.

If somebody is interested, I’ve implemented the above code adding Class
methods logging feature:


module Kernel

def this_method
if self.class == Class
“#{self.to_s}.#{caller[0][/(.*)'/, 1]}" else "#{self.class}##{caller[0][/(.*)’/, 1]}”
end
end
private :this_method

end

module MM
class AA
def self.class_method
puts this_method
end

def instance_method
  puts this_method
end

end
end

MM::AA.class_method
=> “MM::AA.class_method”

MM::AA.new.instance_method
=> “MM::AA#instance_method”

Regards.
