如果有人觉得这个例子有用，我就随便举个例子。解决方案是基于这个答案https://stackoverflow.com/a/10712838/473040。

假设您有一个列public_uid，它被用作外部世界的主ID(您可以在这里找到为什么要这样做的原因)

现在假设您已经在一些现有的model上引入了这个字段，现在您想要重新生成所有尚未设置的记录。你可以这样做

# lib/tasks/data_integirity.rake
namespace :di do
  namespace :public_uids do
    desc "Data Integrity: genereate public_uid for any model record that doesn't have value of public_uid"
    task generate: :environment do
      Rails.application.eager_load!
      ActiveRecord::Base
        .descendants
        .select {|f| f.attribute_names.include?("public_uid") }
        .each do |m| 
          m.where(public_uid: nil).each { |mi| puts "Generating public_uid for #{m}#id #{mi.id}"; mi.generate_public_uid; mi.save }
      end 
    end 
  end 
end

现在可以运行rake di:public_uid:generate

如果你只需要类名:

ActiveRecord::Base.descendants.map {|f| puts f}

只需在Rails控制台中运行它，仅此而已。好运！

编辑:@sj26是正确的，你需要在调用后代之前先运行这个:

Rails.application.eager_load!

ActiveRecord::Base.connection.tables.map do |model|
  model.capitalize.singularize.camelize
end

将返回

["Article", "MenuItem", "Post", "ZebraStripePerson"]

附加信息如果你想在对象名上调用一个没有model:string未知方法或变量错误的方法，使用这个

model.classify.constantize.attribute_names

Rails实现了方法的后代，但模型不一定继承自ActiveRecord::Base，例如，包含ActiveModel::Model模块的类将具有与模型相同的行为，只是不会链接到表。

所以，与上面同事所说的相辅相成，最轻微的努力就会做到这一点:

Ruby的类别:

class Class
  def extends? constant
    ancestors.include?(constant) if constant != self
  end
end

方法模型，包括祖先，如下:

方法Module。constants返回(表面上)一个符号集合，而不是常量，因此，array# select方法可以像模块的猴子补丁一样被替换:

class Module

  def demodulize
    splitted_trail = self.to_s.split("::")
    constant = splitted_trail.last

    const_get(constant) if defines?(constant)
  end
  private :demodulize

  def defines? constant, verbose=false
    splitted_trail = constant.split("::")
    trail_name = splitted_trail.first

    begin
      trail = const_get(trail_name) if Object.send(:const_defined?, trail_name)
      splitted_trail.slice(1, splitted_trail.length - 1).each do |constant_name|
        trail = trail.send(:const_defined?, constant_name) ? trail.const_get(constant_name) : nil
      end
      true if trail
    rescue Exception => e
      $stderr.puts "Exception recovered when trying to check if the constant \"#{constant}\" is defined: #{e}" if verbose
    end unless constant.empty?
  end

  def has_constants?
    true if constants.any?
  end

  def nestings counted=[], &block
    trail = self.to_s
    collected = []
    recursivityQueue = []

    constants.each do |const_name|
      const_name = const_name.to_s
      const_for_try = "#{trail}::#{const_name}"
      constant = const_for_try.constantize

      begin
        constant_sym = constant.to_s.to_sym
        if constant && !counted.include?(constant_sym)
          counted << constant_sym
          if (constant.is_a?(Module) || constant.is_a?(Class))
            value = block_given? ? block.call(constant) : constant
            collected << value if value

            recursivityQueue.push({
              constant: constant,
              counted: counted,
              block: block
            }) if constant.has_constants?
          end
        end
      rescue Exception
      end

    end

    recursivityQueue.each do |data|
      collected.concat data[:constant].nestings(data[:counted], &data[:block])
    end

    collected
  end

end

猴子的绳子。

class String
  def constantize
    if Module.defines?(self)
      Module.const_get self
    else
      demodulized = self.split("::").last
      Module.const_get(demodulized) if Module.defines?(demodulized)
    end
  end
end

最后是模型方法

def models
  # preload only models
  application.config.eager_load_paths = model_eager_load_paths
  application.eager_load!

  models = Module.nestings do |const|
    const if const.is_a?(Class) && const != ActiveRecord::SchemaMigration && (const.extends?(ActiveRecord::Base) || const.include?(ActiveModel::Model))
  end
end

private

  def application
    ::Rails.application
  end

  def model_eager_load_paths
    eager_load_paths = application.config.eager_load_paths.collect do |eager_load_path|
      model_paths = application.config.paths["app/models"].collect do |model_path|
        eager_load_path if Regexp.new("(#{model_path})$").match(eager_load_path)
      end
    end.flatten.compact
  end

Rails 3、4和5的完整答案是:

如果cache_classes是关闭的(在开发中默认是关闭的，但在生产中是打开的):

Rails.application.eager_load!

然后:

ActiveRecord::Base.descendants

这将确保加载应用程序中的所有模型，无论它们位于何处，并且也加载了您使用的任何提供模型的gem。

这应该也适用于从ActiveRecord::Base继承的类，如Rails 5中的ApplicationRecord，并只返回后代的子树:

ApplicationRecord.descendants

如果您想了解更多关于这是如何完成的，请查看ActiveSupport:: descent stracker。

这对我很管用。特别感谢上面所有的帖子。这将返回所有模型的集合。

models = []

Dir.glob("#{Rails.root}/app/models/**/*.rb") do |model_path|
  temp = model_path.split(/\/models\//)
  models.push temp.last.gsub(/\.rb$/, '').camelize.constantize rescue nil
end
