A way to know which example (in any given rspec file) is being run out of total examples in the spec file

smart_around_hook_spec.rb

RSpec.describe 'whatever' do
  around do |example|
    total_examples = example.example_group.parent_groups.last.descendant_filtered_examples.size
    examples_executed = example.reporter.examples.size

    do_initial_thing if examples_executed == 1
    example.run
    do_final_thing if examples_executed == total_examples
  end
  
  # the rest of the spec file
end
