Please look at the two examples below: irb(#<ActionView::Base:0x2863d58>):030:0> paintings_path => /some-nice-alias-path irb(#<ActionView::Base:0x2863d58>):029:0> self.controller_name.to_s +

Please look at the two examples below:

irb(#<ActionView::Base:0x2863d58>):030:0> paintings_path
=> "/some-nice-alias-path"

irb(#<ActionView::Base:0x2863d58>):029:0> self.controller_name.to_s + "_path"
=> "paintings_path"

How do I return the path instead of the string? I need to call the controller path from my application helper.

Best regards.

     send(self.controller_name.to_s + "_path")
    

    if you don’t use send on self, it goes to Kernel, which is what you want. self might work though, depending on exact context.
