Re: [rspec-users] Before and After blocks for individual feature files?

After some consideration, I agree with Aslak's and Ben's advice against keeping context across an entire feature. But I am still not convinced that it makes sense for create a new context for each row of an example table. As a newbie, I expected the Before: block would be run once before the scen

Hey Ben, It'd be kinda cool if there was a sort of before and after for a feature rather than each scenario. Is there? (Rails context) We often need this. It'd be really helpful for things like when we want to test about 15 things on a particular web page, and they don't require fresh dat

Re: [rspec-users] Before and After blocks for individual feature files?

OK - I found a workaround. I simply tag the first scenario with '@first', then do Before('@first') and i get what I want - executing a block once for the feature file. Except for one problem: most of my scenarios are done as scenario outlines, which are run multiple times - once for each row of

I also would like a hook that executes a block once before running a feature file. In my testing i found that: - Background: executes before each scenario - Before executes before each scenario - Before('@tag') executes before each scenario Is there a way to execute a block once before each featu

Hi -- is it possible to set before and after blocks for individual feature files? I've tried putting them in step files, but they just get called before everything, like they'd been declared in env.rb, which is consistent with how I thought cucumber worked, but I thought I'd best try it anyway. Any
