Arguments of shared example evaluated before any `before` block

[YarikST]

Subject of the issue

Arguments of shared example evaluated before any before block. We should mention this in docs

Your environment

• Ruby version: 2.6.8
• rspec-core version: 3.8.2

Steps to reproduce

describe 'ArgumentsOfSharedExamples' do
  before do
    puts "This line appears once arguments are evaluated"
    puts Time.current
    travel_to Time.current.middle_of_day.utc
  end

  after { travel_back }

  shared_examples 'rspec-examples' do |run_date|
    it 'should be the middle of day' do
      expect(run_date).to eq Time.current.middle_of_day
    end
  end

  puts "Evaluated arguments"
  puts Time.current
  include_examples 'rspec-examples', Time.current.middle_of_day
end

Hi, This is just normal Ruby precendence. Things outside of specs are evaluated before specs are run, its no different to how "some_value" here is evaulted before the name method is called.

class SomeClass
  some_value = Time.current.middle_of_day

  def name
    Time.current.middle_of_day
  end
end
SomeClass.new.name
