Rails check if IRB console or webpage

Question

In my model I would like to check if the app is running inside IRB consol or as a website?

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

Can you say why you want this? The larger problem might have a better solution. — Kathy Van Stone, Feb 24 '10 at 21:40

Why not just if defined?(IRB)?

This doesn't seem to always work depending on your scope, I've settled on `Rails.const_defined?('Console')` for now. – toupeira Nov 15 '13 at 14:58

This is a bit of a hack, but it should work:

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

But as Kathy Van Stone said above, this is probably something that has a better solution.
