Pry show methods command returns unexpected content

Question

I'm trying to simply list the methods for a model. As you can see it returns something unexpected. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.

    [4] pry(Event):1> ls -m

How do I show the methods for this specific model?

Answer 1

You can use ModelName.methods in pry console which will give you all the methods for that Model. So, for you, it is:

ls Event.methods
