I know that I'm mixing before(:each) and before(:all). What I'm wondering is the rules for how they interact? Are then any "scoping" rules in RSpec? I think that it makes sense that a before(:all) defined in a context on which a before(:each) is already applied gets run after the before(:each) has run, but that's just my opinion. > > > > > I'm using Ruby version 1.9.2p0 with rvm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 and RSpec > > 2.1.0. > > > > Thanks for a wonderful framework! > > > > Best regards, > > Erik > > _______________________________________________ > > rspec-users mailing list > > rspec-users@rubyforge.org > > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users > > cheers, > Matt > > m...@mattwynne.net > 07974 430184 > > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > rspec-users@rubyforge.org > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users > Thanks for your answer!
