hey there, the short version: right now Cucumber provides hooks Before and After to be run around every step, I have notice some use case where BeforeAll and AfterAll hooks would be useful. are ther plans that they be provided? what you think would be the best place to do it (mother_step.rb)? any ideas about this could be accomplished?
the long version: playing with culerity, which according to the author: * when running cucumber culerity spawns a new jruby process (that's the IO.popen call) - this way cucumber runs in plain old ruby (and you can work with your models for test setup etc.) and only celerity runs in jruby * from then on all communication has to go through pipes (in, out) so i am passing the browser config through those pipes to the newsly spawned jruby process * when a test fails the jruby process doesn't get killed, that's the java processes you see. don't have a good idea how to solve this yet. for now you will have to kill those processes by hand. that has improved since now there's a first attempt for built in support to kill orfan java processes at: http://github.com/joahking/culerity/tree/orfan_processes culerity trick happen at step_definitions/common_celerity.rb Before and After hooks, where you build and kill a spawned jruby around every step. There it is easy to see the gain if we could do those in an around All steps manner what do you think? cheers, joaquin
