Finding where a method is defined in Ruby using IRB
Raw
irb.md

There are three ways to find out where a method is defined in Ruby using IRB:

  • using the source_location defined on the Method object
  • using the IRB show_source command
  • displaying information about an object using ls (for displaying the object but not the source file)
