Hi,
I'm a current maintainer of Mocha <https://mochajs.org>, which (AFAIK) was
inspired by RSpec. I am not the *author *of Mocha; the author is long
gone, or I'd ask him about this.
My question regards a paradigm which seems common to BDD-style test
frameworks. I assume that RSpec works similarly, but I apologize if I'm
incorrect.
It's most easily illustrated with a pseudocode example (sorry, I'm
unfamiliar with Ruby):
begin suite 'foo'
begin test 'bar'
print 1
end test
begin suite 'baz'
begin test 'quux'
print 2
end test
print 3
end suite
end suite
In Mocha (and I assume RSpec), the following would be printed:
1
3
2
This is difficult for some users to reason about. I'm unable to explain
what this algorithm buys us, other than perhaps better control over
disabling tests and suites. Can anyone explain why it works as it does?
thanks
Chris
