Hey all, I'd like to propose the complement to ExUnit.after_suite/1 which runs a set of callbacks immediately before the test suite starts.
We can set up code that's run before the test suite in test_helper.exs but, unlike ExUnit.after_suite/1, this code runs regardless of there being any actual tests to run as part of the suite. So if we *need* to tear down some code that was set up in test_helper.exs but no tests are run, we're out of luck. Here's a particular example: 1. Running an umbrella project with 2 apps 2. mix test specific/file/in/app/1.ex 3. Setup & tear-down happen correctly in app 1 suite 4. Setup happens in app 2, but tear-down does not, because no files match the given path, and after_suite callbacks don't run. Adding before_suite callbacks with the same semantics as after_suite would be helpful here, since setup would only happen if there were any tests to run.
