Question

I have a module in a file called my_mod.rb declared like this:

module Reports
  module MyMod

    def mymethod
      ...
    end

  end
end

I just want to run mymethod. It’s not a class method obviously, so I can’t run it like:

Reports::MyMod.mymethod

and yet I was hoping there was some way to get the method evaluated by the parser without have to go through a bunch of module_eval and module_function stuff. It should be easier than that, shouldn’t it?

Answer 1

To run it from the rails console you just have to include it:

> include Reports::MyMod
> mymethod
