I don’t know whether there’s anything higher lever, but from inside an
action try this:

self.class.instance_methods(false)

It won’t, of course, mention cases where you’ve got a template but no
action definition… but it’s not such a bad idea to put empty actions
in your controller for those cases anyway. (At least, I like to.)

to get method in private,
UploadController.private_instance_methods(false)

to get method in protected,
UploadController.protected_instance_methods(false)

This is how I did it once when I needed them as options for a select:

Maybe SomeController.action_methods ? (subject of course to the same
caveats you give below)

I KNEW Rails must have gotten there before me :slight_smile: I’m just such a
low-level kind of person…

this includes inherited and included methods as well (namely from
ApplicationController, which seems undesirable). OTOH, it respects
hidden actions. so, to combine the two:

SomeController.public_instance_methods(false) -
SomeController.hidden_actions

oh, one more thing: if you have filter_parameter_logging in your
controller, filter_parameters will be added to that controller’s
public instance methods.
