Method: RSpec::Core::Configuration#before

Defined in:
lib/rspec/core/configuration.rb

#before(scope = nil, *meta, &block) ⇒ void Also known as: append_before

Defines a before hook. See Hooks#before for full docs.

This method differs from Hooks#before in only one way: it supports the :suite scope. Hooks with the :suite scope will be run once before the first example of the entire suite is executed. Conditions passed along with :suite are effectively ignored.
