Reflection - Defined methods in controller

rubyonrails-talk

Luke :

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?

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
