If you want all examples in a particular context to share an object, the
easiest way is to use before(:context) to initialize it and store it in an
instance variable, and then use that instance variable from your examples.
Here’s an example:
context "my context" doi
before(:context) { @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox }
it "uses the browser" do
@browser.do_something
end
it "uses the browser for something else" do
@browser.do_something_else
endend
