Deprecate ExampleGroupMethods#before_eval

Reported by Brian Takita | February 11th, 2008 @ 07:27 AM

We used to use before_eval for the Rails plugin. This has fallen out of favor due to the ability to define before and after blocks in supeclasses.

I would like to have before_eval removed so the describe method can be trimmed down.

I suppose we should check to see if anybody is still using before_eval.

    Let's just add a deprecation warning for now and plan to remove it for 1.2.0

    I'm not sure how to add the deprecation warning because its a method that meant to get redefined.

    If a deprecation cannot be added, it would probably be safe to remove it and provide documentation on using the correct callback.
