Rails checks to see if there is an IRB console or web page

Question

In my model, I would like to check if the application works inside the IRB console or as a website?

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  def xmethod
    if !isIRBconsol
      self.user_id = UserSession.find.user.id
    end
  end
end

Answer 1

This is a bit hacky, but it should work:

class MyModel < ActiveRecord::Base
  def am_i_in_irb?
    self.private_methods.include? 'irb_binding'
  end
end

But, as Katy Van Stone said, this is probably what has the best solution.

Answer 2

Why not easy if defined?(IRB)?

Answer 3

unless self.private_methods.include? 'irb_binding'
   #put your rufus scheduling here
end
