Alias in hooks

[prashantabellad]

This is an issue

Current behavior:

Consider below code where I am creating alias users in before hook.

before(function () {
  // alias the users fixtures
  cy.fixture('users.json').as('users')
})
I am not able to access it in my test below
it('utilize users in some way', () => {
  // access the users property
  const user = this.users[0]
})

I am able to only access it when I change anonymous "()=> { " to "function()=>{"
it('utilize users in some way', function() => {
  // access the users property
  const user = this.users[0]
})

Desired behavior:

Steps to reproduce: (app code and test code)

before code is only run once, and between the tests Cypress removes all of the aliases. So in subsequent tests it is not available.

Moving this code into a beforeEach will work.
