sender class in ruby?

Question

Anyone know how to get the sender class/module in ruby?

caller[0] is helpful to derive the filename and linenumber sending.

But knowing the class would be helpful. Can't find it any searches?

Answer 1

This would be impossible. You shouldn't be specialising your behaviour in a method based on the calling class anyway.

Think about it this way - the caller could be an anonymous function (proc) created in one class, then given to another one and invoked from a third place. You wouldn't get anything useful.

Instead, I'd look at what you're trying to achieve here, and think of another way to get there! :)
