Hi @diesalbla there’s no great way to do that at the moment, it’s more like a pattern

case class MyResource(value: Int)

object Resource {
  var resource: MyResource = null

  def getResource: MyResource = {
    if (resource == null) {
      println("creating resource")
      resource = MyResource(1)
      resource
    } else resource
  }

  def closeResource() = {
    println("closing resource")
    resource = null
  }
}

class Resource1Spec extends Specification { def is =
  s2"""
    use a shared resource in spec1 $useIt
    """

  def useIt = {
    println("execute spec1")
    Resource.getResource.value === 1
  }
}

class Resource2Spec extends Specification { def is =
  s2"""
    use a shared resource in spec2 $useIt
    """

  def useIt = {
    println("execute spec2")
    Resource.getResource.value === 1
  }
}

class ResourceSpec extends Specification { def is =
  s2"""
    ${link(new Resource1Spec)}
    ${link(new Resource2Spec)}
    ${step(Resource.closeResource())}
  """
}

You need to run the ResourceSpec with the all command-line argument so that all the linked specifications are also executed
