Reflection - Defined methods in controller

Rails
1

I’m trying to get a list of the methods that I’ve defined in a
controller. But,

“controller.methods” is giving me ALL the methods of the controller. Is
there a way to get the only the methods that I’ve defined?

Cheers

ActionController::Base.action_methods and
ActionController::Base#action_methods give you a set
of your actions.

If you want the public methods defined just in your controller, you’ve
got MyController.public_instance_methods(false)

action_methods returns an array, and you can subtract one array from
another.
so to get just the actions for that controller, you could do this in
script/console:

MyController.action_methods - ApplicationController.action_methods

MyController.public_instance_methods(false)

Awesome, worked like a charm. Thanks.
