Thank you for the reply!
I have to admit that for a second I thought about using 'options'
somehow, but wasn't sure if it would work or not so i forgot the
possibility to use it at all and tried different approaches.
Anyway, it seems that your exact code snippet doesn't work so I made
one formatter and spec to see what happens. Formatter is written like
this:
require 'spec/runner/formatter/base_text_formatter'
class OptionsFormatter < Spec::Runner::Formatter::BaseTextFormatter
def example_group_started(example_group_proxy)
puts "example_group_started"
p example_group_proxy.options
super
end
def example_started(example_proxy)
puts "example_started"
p example_proxy.options
super
end
def example_passed(example_proxy)
puts "example_passed"
p example_proxy.options
super
end
def example_failed(example_proxy, counter, failure)
puts "example_failed"
p example_proxy.options
super
end
end
and spec:
require 'spec'
describe "optionsformatter" do
before :all do
options[:all] = "all"
end
before :each do
options[:each] = "each"
end
it "one" do
options[:it] = "passing"
end
it "two" do
options[:it] = "failing"
raise
end
end
When running the spec, then output will be something like this:
example_group_started
{}
example_started
{}
example_passed
{:it=>"passing", :each=>"each"}
example_started
{}
example_failed
{:it=>"failing", :each=>"each"}
In short - it seems that when example_group_started is invoked, then
options set in before :all doesn't propagate into formatter (at least
I thought that this would be logical thing to happen). Secondly, there
isn't also anything in options when example_started is invoked and
only real place to get anything useful from options is from
example_passed or example_failed. Is this expected?
Happily it also shows options from before :each, which enabled me to
use "configure" from my environment file something similar to:
Spec::Runner.configure do |config|
config.before(:each) {options[:browser] = BrowserClass.instance}
end
And in Formatter under example_failed to get the browser object. It
makes sense to get this browser object only for failing examples
anyway, since no screenshots are made for passing examples.
So now I don't have to explicitly set options from every example or
example group and it is done automatically :-)
