Mocha with asyc call back does not execute my before and it blocks

Question

I have mocha tests in a test suite. I noticed all my tests where passing even when they should fail. I put some console.log statements and realized mocha does not enter the before or it blocks

When I run the below, 1, 3 and 4 print to the console, with test passing ________________________________________
