I have a reference to the Class object of a given class. I need to find out the file path of the class. The class inherits from ActiveRecord if that is any help.
Any easy way of doing this?
Thanks.

We can use the getClass() method of Object class in Java that returns the currently running class, which further can be used with the getPath() method to get the path of the current working directory. See the example below.
Click the Start button and then click Computer, click to open the location of the desired file, hold down the Shift key and right-click the file. Copy As Path: Click this option to paste the full file path into a document. Properties: Click this option to immediately view the full file path (location).
In Java, for NIO Path, we can use path. toAbsolutePath() to get the file path; For legacy IO File, we can use file. getAbsolutePath() to get the file path.
To retrieve a file in Python, you need to know the exact path to reach the file, in Windows, you can view a particular file's path by right-clicking the File-> Properties-> General-> Location. Similarly, to run a script, the working directory needs to be set to the directory containing the script.
Use source_location on its methods:
YourClass.instance_methods(false).map { |m|
YourClass.instance_method(m).source_location.first
}.uniq
You might get more than one location, as methods might be defined in different places.
