A noob question. FunTest nested. Is there any functional difference between context and test except for test doesn’t support nesting?

[Mykola Gurov]

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

[sam]

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 ✅
