Wondering if it's by design that rspec-given will not evaluate missing methods until "then" is present

rspec-given-when-to-start-eval

require 'concept_im_evolving'
require 'rspec/given'


#Sample1: Run rspec >> No examples found. 
describe ConceptImEvolving do
    Given (:getter) { ConceptImEvolving.new }
    context "when there is a new item" do
        When { getter.get_latest_item("some_uri") } 
    end
end

#Sample2: Run rspec >> I get NoMethodError for "getter"
describe ConceptImEvolving do
    Given (:getter) { ConceptImEvolving.new }
    context "when there is a new item" do
        When { getter.get_latest_item("some_uri") }
        Then {} 
    end
end
