expect

Expect that method name is called, optionally with args, and returns retval.

@mock.expect(:meaning_of_life, 42)
@mock.meaning_of_life # => 42

@mock.expect(:do_something_with, true, [some_obj, true])
@mock.do_something_with(some_obj, true) # => true

args is compared to the expected args using case equality (ie, the ‘===’ operator), allowing for less specific expectations.

@mock.expect(:uses_any_string, true, [String])
@mock.uses_any_string("foo") # => true
@mock.verify  # => true

@mock.expect(:uses_one_string, true, ["foo"]
@mock.uses_one_string("bar") # => true
@mock.verify  # => raises MockExpectationError
