YourController.public_instance_methods(false)

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)

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.
