Scope of Before/After Hooks in GoDog ScenarioContext Affecting All Scenarios

[aakash-acquia]

👓 What did you see?

In my test setup, I have a main FeatureContext that registers scenarios and a nested AbcFeatureContext that also registers its own scenarios and hooks.

func FeatureContext(ctx context.Context, s *godog.ScenarioContext, log logger.Logger) {
   // Main steps and hooks
   AbcFeatureContext(ctx, s)
}

func AbcFeatureContext(ctx context.Context, s *godog.ScenarioContext) {
    s.Before(func(ctx context.Context, _ *godog.Scenario) (context.Context, error) {
        // Pre-checks specific to AbcFeatureContext
        return ctx, nil
    })

    // Steps specific to AbcFeatureContext

    s.After(func(ctx context.Context, _ *godog.Scenario, _ error) (context.Context, error) {
        // Cleanup specific to AbcFeatureContext
        return ctx, nil
    })
}

I have noticed that the Before and After hooks defined in AbcFeatureContext are being executed for all scenarios registered in FeatureContext, not just for those specific to AbcFeatureContext.

✅ What did you expect to see?

I expected the hooks in AbcFeatureContext to apply only to scenarios that are meant to be part of AbcFeatureContext and not to every scenario registered under FeatureContext.

📦 Which tool/library version are you using?

go 1.23.0
godog v0.14.1

🔬 How could we reproduce it?

No response

📚 Any additional context?

Also let me know if this is expected behaviour and you have any workaround for it?
