Forum: RSpec instance variables from outer before blocks don't persist?

Hmmm..  I am used to doing this with Test::Unit & Shoulda..

setup do
  @foo = Bar.new
end

context "something"

  setup do
    @foo.blah = 123
  end

  should "make me say lol" do
    # ...etc
  end

end

...  But I just tried doing this in RSpec with before :each, and it 
seems that
my @foo ivar is non existant inside the inner context......  Is this the 
way
it's supposed to be?

Nevermind..  I figured out what I was doing wrong.
