Hmm, this is also causing me some trouble - do doubt a sign of badly designed specs. Anyway, I have a class defined in before, and a variation of it define in the following example, so I see this 'contamination' between examples.... > > aslak hellesoy wrote: > You can have a global after block in your spec_helper.rb that > undefines all such constants.

Ideally I think that I'd like to remove the class definition 'after (:all)' in each example. Can any one offer a recommended (simple?) solution?
