Around(:each) overriding before(:each) behaviour

[siva]

  Hi all

   I am doing some stunts using around each. I found some different odd with around(:each). When I run below example it gives output as:

   describe "AroundSpec" do
       before(:each) do
          p "On before each block"
        end

        around(:each) do
            p "On around each block"
        end

         it "1+1 = 2" do
            expect(1+1).to eq(2)
         end
   end
 
   output:
      "On around each block"
     .

      Finished in 0.00038 seconds
      1 example, 0 failures


     If you notice it doesn't executing before each block. Is this way suppose to be it work or is it a bug? Could you help out. Thanks in advance

That's working as expected.  In `around(:each)` you have to call `run` on the yielded arg, as documented:

http://rubydoc.info/gems/rspec-core/RSpec/Core/Hooks#around-instance_method

If you do not do this, the example will not run.  Given that it is an around hook, you are responsible for telling rspec when to run the example, so you can wrap it however you like.
