before/after on suites?

[robertj]

Hi,

I'd like to define a before and after code block on a suite. Is this possible?

describe "many tests", ->

  before ->

    console.log "this will run once for all the following specs"

  it "does something", ->

    ..

  

  it "does something else", - >

    ..

Best regards

Robert

OK, gonna answer this myself as the most useless question ever.

of course I can. I simply put my code between the describe and the it. Everything will be executed.

describe "many tests", ->

One gotcha on this is if you are testing stuff with callbacks. If you
want code to run after your callbacks, you would need to somehow
synchronize your callbacks with something like
https://github.com/coolaj86/futures, or put some `waits()` before your
code you want to run after.

thanks for the hint

Careful here, code in the describe scope will run at suite parse time, not suite execution time. IE, it will run before any suites start executing.
