Get list of a class' instance methods

Viewed 113529

I have a class:

class TestClass
  def method1
  end

  def method2
  end

  def method3
  end
end

How can I get a list of my methods in this class (method1, method2, method3)?

To get only own methods, and exclude inherited ones:

From within the instance:

self.methods - self.class.superclass.instance_methods

From outside:

TestClass.instance_methods - TestClass.superclass.instance_methods

Add it to the class:

class TestClass
  class << self
    def own_methods
      self.instance_methods - self.superclass.instance_methods
    end
  end
end

TestClass.own_methods
=> [:method1, :method2, :method3]

(with ruby 2.6.x)
