The previous implementation would cause all
let
blocks to be evaluated at the start of the test rather than on an as-needed basis, which is inconsistent with the behavior developers who are used to RSpec would expect. Now,let
only evaluates its block when the test first needs a value, allowing thelet
block to depend on state that is being setup by other blocks (beforeEach
, otherlet
blocks, etc).Despite this, there was value in preserving the old implementation as Spectrum's equivalent to
let!
from RSpec. As such, I've moved that implementation over to a new DSL helper calledeagerLet
. One use case where this is useful is defining values that can be used in abeforeEach
block.Closes #132.
