[Q] Is BehaviorSpec Given block executed for each test?

With:

Given("a duck") {

    val duck= Duck()

    When("it quacks") {
        Then("it makes noise") {
            ..
        }
    }

    When("it walks") {
        Then("it moves") {
            ..
        }
    }
}

Is the duck instance (re-)created for each test? I need to create a new instance per test and I wonder it is correct behavior to use the Given block instead of the beforeTest fun?

Yes, thx for your swift replies!

Depends on your IsolationMode. Check more documentation here.

What you should do to ensure Given is executed each time a test is executed, you should use IsolationMode.InstancePerTest or perhaps IsolationMode.InstancePerLeaf
