Rails - Mar 2006 - Function could determine the caller action ?

Is it possible to determine which action call the function ?

In example,  func_test   in ApplicationController could determine which 
action from SiteController  is calling her ?

in class ApplicationController I have

def func_test
  if ( calling from index )
      return "1"     end

  if ( calling from contact )
      return "2"     end
end

and in class SiteController

def index
  @var = func_test
end

def contact
  @var = func_test
end

Thanks

if action_name == ''index''

No. action_name is not Ruby or ROR functionnality

I can''t check this at the moment, but I think Ruby supports this:

def test
  caller
end

test # should give the object that called test

http://www.ruby-doc.org/docs/ruby-doc-bundle/Manual/man-1.4/function.html#caller

Although, for your case, action_name is probably more suitable :)

class TestController
  def test
    render :text => action_name
  end
end

Works fine for me.

action_name is an attribute of class AtionController::Base. It does
not require an argument. Can you post the exception stack trace?
