A noob question. FunTest nested. Is there any functional difference between

context

and

test

except for

test

doesn’t support nesting?

in other words, is there any reason to use

test

at all in highly-volatile nested tests? so far I think I can just stick to

context

and don’t have to think of whether I’m in a leaf or not

there are some times you might care about the differnece, like

beforeEach

callbacks and things like that

but generally if your needs are simple, not much difference

ah, thanks for pointing out the lifecycle events. They do behave differently indeed - and in the direction from what I would’ve expected, but not a show stopper for my case ✅
