Before hook called multiple times inside one test block

[JohnnyTheBoy]

Current behavior

when writing multiple tests inside one block (describe), before hook triggers multiple times.

Desired behavior

Before hook inside one block should be triggered only once.

Test code to reproduce

describe("Testing", () => {

before(() => {
    cy.log("Before hook is called!");
});

beforeEach(() => {
    cy.log("Before each hook is called");
});

it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });

it("says hi", () => {
    cy.visit("www.google.com");
    cy.log("Hi!");
});

it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });
it("do something", () => { expect(true).to.be.eq(true); });

});

Looks like a duplicate of #17705 where hooks can be rerun in certain situations when there is a top navigation. We are working on this issue currently.
