More playing with RSpec-Rails.
I’ve noticed that I do not have access to the @request object in before
(:all) but do in before(:each)
Is this expected behavior?

Yes. In general, before(:all) is intended for setting global state and
should only be used for expensive operations like setting up databases
and network connections. It is true that instance variables created in
a before(:all) block are copied to each example, but they do not have
access to the things that are generated per-example, like the request
object.

Thanks again Dave. I’m slowly learning the world of Rspec
