🔄 Flexible Setup and Teardown with around Hooks

The around hook gives you full control over example execution by wrapping setup and teardown logic around example.run. This is useful for tasks like timing, logging, or managing external resources in a single place.

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.around(:each) do |example|
    start_time = Time.now
    puts "\n[START] #{example.full_description} at #{start_time}"
    example.run
    duration = Time.now - start_time
    puts "[END] #{example.full_description} (#{duration.round(2)}s)"
  end
end

RSpec.describe MyService do
  it 'performs work efficiently' do
    expect(MyService.new.call).to be_truthy
  end
end

Here, every example will print its start time and duration, ensuring consistent logging without duplicating code in each spec.
