FInding out the name of the method from which I was called?

Ruby
1

Is there a clever meta programming way for me to do this:

def calling_method_1

reporting_method

end

def reporting_method_2

puts “Hey I was just called from #{magic}”

end

and when running reporting_method_2 this prints

Hey I was just called from calling_method_1

Thanks for any pointers!

puts “Hey I was just called from #{magic}”

end

def reporting_method
caller.shift
end

Check Kernel#caller.

def reporting_method_2

puts “Hey I was just called from #{magic}”

end

and when running reporting_method_2 this prints

Hey I was just called from calling_method_1

Thanks for any pointers!
