ReferenceError: simpleStorage is not defined

[blaynejosh]

Hey, I'm having issues with my hardhat test deployment

I get this
ReferenceError: simpleStorage is not defined

Can anyone help?

const { ethers } = require("hardhat")
const { expect, assert } = require("chai")

describe("SimpleStorage", function () {
  beforeEach(async function () {
    let simpleStorageFactory, simpleStorage
    simpleStorageFactory = await ethers.getContractFactory("SimpleStorage")
    simpleStorage = await simpleStorageFactory.deploy()
  })

  it("Should start with a favorite number of 0", async function () {
    const currentValue = await simpleStorage.retrieve()
    const expectedValue = "0"
    assert.equal(currentValue.toString(), expectedValue)
  })
})
...

@blaynejosh define this above beforeEach

let simpleStorageFactory, simpleStorage;
