Apart from the answers that give you the option of defining the function as self.
, you have another option of including the module and calling it without the module reference like this:
module Prober
def probe_invoke(type, data = {})
p = Probe.new({:probe_type => type.to_s,
:data => data.to_json, :probe_status => 0, :retries => 0})
p.save
end
end
and you can call it like this:
require 'prober'
include Prober
probe_invoke("send_sms", sms_text)
