[rspec-users] Difference between :each and :all

[Brian Warner]

I'm having a hard time grasping the difference between :each and :all.

If I have a bunch of stuff inside a "before :each" block. Everytime I
try to run an example that block of code will be run before the example.

Now if I had the same code inside a "before :all" block. Everytime an
example is run, that block will still be run. Yielding the same results.
At least in my mind.

The RSpec book says something like "before :each" defines a state for
each example. "before :all" defines a state for all the examples. But
what's the difference?
