Method : FunctionDef : Object

The global pseudo-variable thisMethod always evaluates to the enclosing Method in a class definition, much like thisFunction. When executed outside that context, it returns Interpreter: -functionCompileContext, the method within which all interpreted code executes.// if the following code were compiled as part of the class library: SomeClass { methodThatPostsItself { thisMethod.postln; } } // then running this would post // "SomeClass:methodThatPostsItself" a = SomeClass.new; a.methodThatPostsItself;

thisMethod is frequently used to pass information to error-throwing methods. For example, the implementation of Nil.new is:*new { ^this.shouldNotImplement(thisMethod) }
