type SpecContext … type specContext … /* SpecContext includes a reference to `suite` and embeds itself in itself as a "GINKGO_SPEC_CONTEXT" value. This allows users to create child Contexts without having down-stream consumers (e.g. Gomega) lose access to the SpecContext and its methods. This allows us to build extensions on top of Ginkgo that simply take an all-encompassing context. Note that while SpecContext is used to enforce deadlines by Ginkgo it is not configured as a context.WithDeadline. Instead, Ginkgo owns responsibility for cancelling the context when the deadline elapses. This is because Ginkgo needs finer control over when the context is canceled. Specifically, Ginkgo needs to generate a ProgressReport before it cancels the context to ensure progress is captured where the spec is currently running. The only way to avoid a race here is to manually control the cancellation. */ func NewSpecContext(suite *Suite) *specContext { … } func (sc *specContext) SpecReport() types.SpecReport { … }
