method is called from a bare file, e.g. a Cucumber Step definition.

What exactly distinguishes a "bare = file" from ordinary ruby code?

Instead of giving

common_steps.rb:42:in `some_method_or_other' ...

it gives

common_steps.rb:42:in `block in <top (required)>' ...

For these situations you're better off using __method__ and
self.name.to_s if you also need the class in which the method is
contained.

You could as well just loo= k at the next item in the list and use that:

$ ruby -e 'def f;p caller(1);end;f;1.times {f}'

["-= e:1:in `<main>'"]

["-e:1:in `block in <main>'", "-e:1:in `times= '", "-e:1:in `<main>'"]

Kind regards

robert
