Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

Nested describes with before_each

#140

JSpec supports nested describes, but it appears not to support before_each blocks within nested describes.

Request to allow before_each blocks within nested describes.

    Yup, you have to be careful about var; If you use it in the correct context it will still work but the scoping
    is a bit tricky to see with the grammar version of JSpec. You may want to try something like:

      describe "foo"
    var cart
    before_each
      cart = new ShoppingCart
    end
  end

    Generally it shouldn't really matter. Anything developed correctly wont be polluting anyways so polluting during tests is unlikely to cause problems, it never has for me at least. But then again if people are not careful using var in the correct situations they might fuck stuff up haha. Either way there are many ways to deal with it.
