Forum: RSpec Is there a way to get an "around" hook for each spec file?

Is there a way to run an `around` block once for every spec *file*
(not spec)? (I want to measure which files take the longest amount of
time, count the number of specs in each file, and then report the
average spec running time for that file.)

Not at this point, and I don't think it would be a slam dunk to add.

You can use before/after all in the outermost group:

describe "thing" do
  before(:all) { set_up_measurements }
  after(:all)  { report_measurements }
end

Why not just use the --profile option?

Doesn't --profile only return the ten slowest examples? I have
thousands of specs, so I need a little more data than that.
