request.fullpath with no parameters

Question

request.fullpath gives the fullpath plus any parameter passed, such as

/page?param1=value&param2&value

How can I get just the page with no params? Like

/page

Thank you.

Use `path` instead of `fullpath`.

Although not documented, request.path worked for me. I usually use my plugin rails_web_console for playing with the request object.

Update:

As noticed by turboladen, "[ActionDispatch::Request][2] inherits from [Rack::Request‌][3], where request.path is defined".

path is not documented there, but the source displays script_name + path_info.

what about a simple split:

request.fullpath.split("?")[0]

the source for #fullpath shows that it is a concatenation of #path and #query. Save some work by just using #path http://www.rubydoc.info/gems/rack/Rack/Request:fullpath (I understand this has been asked and answered, but it is still worth noting for future SO'ers) – Pat Newell May 27 '15 at 14:08
Just because an answer works, doesn't mean: it's the correct answer. The upvotes are an example of lacking conscientiousness. – Ekkstein Sep 17 '20 at 16:56

no need for splitting,

request.path_info

gives you just that
