Maybe you could use the workaround to set a pre-command-minibuffer variable to the current buffer via the pre-command-hook, unless the current-buffer is a minibuffer. Maybe you'd have to exclude some other (types of) buffers, but otherwise this might work

Your print function runs after the minibuffer was invoked. You can try the same using minibuffer-setup-hook which is called when the cursor is in the minibuffer.

Ah okay. Well I've tested it in Spacemacs (using ivy) calling the following command: (defun test (dir) (interactive "D") (print (current-buffer))), it printed the buffer from where I invoked ivy-switch-buffer, instead of the minibuffer. I remember something that helm does not use the minibuffer, which could be relevent (or not)... (I can not get the code block formatted 'correctly' here in the comments)

Doesn't most (or all) of the time the function current-buffer provide it?
