Hello. I need to pass something from before :all to formatter. I know that i could use options hash from spec and then get the value back in formatter, but it doesn't work when i'm doing it from before :all.
So, this work: # in spec before :each do options[:something] = 1 end # in formatter def example_failed(example, counter, failure) puts example.options[:something] # outputs 1 super end But if i try to do the same thing from before :all, then it doesn't work. So i looked into the source of RSpec and in example/example_methods.rb in method set_instance_variables_from_hash there is a line which ignores some instance variables among with others @_proxy, which has this option hash initialized in before :all and that's why it's not getting into the formatter - in other words it is just dropped. Is this a bug or expected behaviour? If it's expected then what's the reason and how could i get the desired results of passing something to formatter from before :all? Can't we just pass this options hash along? Jarmo _______________________________________________ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
