ruby method_name

to ruby method by nickstenning on Aug 11, 2006
If I had a dollar for every time someone (in #ruby-lang) asked how to get the currently running method name, I'd be a rich man.

def method_name
  /`(.*)'/.match(caller.first).captures[0].to_sym rescue nil
end

def foobar
  method_name
end

# => :foobar
