Getting current line of code in Ruby

Question

Crazy thought today.

Is there any way to grab the line number that code has been executed on?

Logger.info "I was run on line #{get_line_number}"

Not crazy. Useful when handling exceptions. – B Seven Apr 27 '15 at 18:56 — B Seven, Apr 27 '15 at 18:56

You can use __LINE__ variable. See this https://stackoverflow.com/a/2496240/100466 answer also.
