I had, for historic reasons, a setup on a group of specs: before(:all) do @contents = [%w(this that), %w(this other)] FasterCSV.stub!(:open).and_return(@contents) @filename = 'test_filename' end
When I ran the single file (spec spec/transformer/csv_spec.rb), all my specs passed. When I ran the whole project's specs together (spec spec/), these failed. Changing before(:all) to before(:each) worked, but for reasons that are not clear to me. The before(:all) approach didn't work because the FasterCSV stub wasn't being set. Can someone explain why there would be different behavior between running one file and many files and before(:each) vs. before(:all)? As far as I understand it, I thought before(:all) was supposed to always run before a group of specs. Is it possible that a before (:all) doesn't work right when calling multiple/all specs at the same time?
