Return the calling method. This version also works when the call was from inside a block.

calling_method.rb

def this_method
  caller[0] =~ /`([^']*)'/ and $1
end

# This one only works in ruby 1.8.x, see the other file for 1.9 version
def calling_method(depth = 1, file = "")
  caller[depth] =~ /^(.+?):(\d+)(?::in `(.*)')?/
  if $3 && ($1 == file || depth == 1)
    $3
  else
    file = $1 if depth == 1
    calling_method(depth+1, file)
  end
end

calling_method_19.rb

def calling_method
  caller[1] =~ /^(.+?):(\d+)(?::in `(.*)')?/
  res = $3
  res = res.split(" ").last if res.include?("block in")
  res
end
