Retrieve ruby script file name

Ruby
1

Hello Group,

Is there any way to retrieve the file name of the script that you are
executing?
For example if you have a ruby script named kitty.rb :

$./kitty.rb
script name is ‘kitty.rb’

Thank you,

Note that there is $0 as well. FILE will contain the name of the
file which contains the currently executed line of code while $0 will
contain the name of the script that the interpreter was started with.
When requiring and loading other files FILE and $0 will point to
different names.

Kind regards

Came here after many years just to find a cleaner way to get filename… But I can only get File.basename($PROGRAM_NAME) or File.basename($0) or File.basename(__FILE__) working … :slight_smile:
