I recently had a bug where a class variable was being initialised wrongly: @@var1 = nil, @@var2 = nil instead of: @@var1, @@var2 = nil In investigating this, I realised that in a unit test, class variables do not get "reloaded" between tests like everything else. Is there any way to make them "reload" (I would have though given the nature of tests that would be the default behaviour).
