Have any normal way to fetch filename of caller module ?
Now I use throw Error() and parse stack for path.... but is stupid way for production model.

I'm pretty sure that is the only way. I've resorted to doing the same call-stack parsing trick in the past...

Well, you can check module.parent, but that'll only give you the
first module to load this one. Since modules are cached, it may be
loaded from many different places, but it'll always have the same
parent reference to the first one.
