Before and beforeEach in supportFile - unexpected behavior during 'run all specs'

Current behavior:

before and beforeEach executed from support file seems unlogical. As docs described, beforeEach runs before each test in each spec file. In this way, I expect to see before hook before starting each spec file. But it doesn’t, it runs only once.

Desired behavior:

Seems like more clear to run before hook before each spec file, like each before hook from spec file does.

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

I just pasted this piece of code into support/index.js

before(() => {
    cy.log('Run before');
});

beforeEach(() => {
    cy.log('Run before each');
});

Oh, I see the issue now… sorry I didn’t realize there are two before defined by you. Sorry… please ignore whatever I said… I think you are right

you can also put before() and beforeeach() inside spec files…
