Hi All, We have many specs like the pattern given below.
The problem is that it's slow, because each inner context block will execute the before(:all) in the outer describe block. Is there a way to setup an inner context block that does not execute the before(:all) and after(:all), but does execute the before(:each) and after(:each) ? Based on some playing around (removing inner context blocks) we think this would speed up our tests by a factor of 10. Cheers, Jimmy ----- describe Project do before(:all) do # statements that set up an object graph, relatively slow end after(:all) do # tear down object graph end it { should ... } it { should ... } it { should ... } it { should ... } context "target calculations" do before(:each) do # non-expensive statements, just setting up for example the subject, Time.zone, locale, etc. end it { should ... } it { should ... } it { should ... } end context "duration calculations" do before(:each) do # non-expensive statements end it { should ... } it { should ... } it { should ... } end context ... context ... [ etc. ] end
