Re: Why beforeEach doesn't work but this.setupComponent does?

[Gabriel Pugliese]

Probably because of wrong scope/context of "this"? Have you tried removing the describe context leaving the beforeEach inside the describeComponent context? (Complete shot in the dark)

Hi everyone. I am having a really strange problem with one of my tests. I am trying to setupComponent before every it but it doesn't work, but when I just add setupComponent in every it, it works as expected. Maybe the problem is not with neither of them, maybe I am misusing the framework, so I need someones help just to look at the code and tell me if I am doing something wrong, or should I raise a bug.

You can remove beforeEach and everything will work, but if you remove this.setupComponent from it, the test will fail).
