      at_most(1)
    end

### #in_sequence(sequence, *sequences) ⇒ `Expectation`

Constrains the expectation so that it must be invoked at the current point in the `sequence`.

To expect a sequence of invocations, write the expectations in order and add the `in_sequence(sequence)` clause to each one.

Expectations in a `sequence` can have any invocation count.

If an expectation in a sequence is stubbed, rather than expected, it can be skipped in the `sequence`.

An expected method can appear in multiple sequences.

#### Examples:

#####

Ensure methods are invoked in a specified order.

    breakfast = sequence('breakfast')

    egg = mock('egg')
    egg.expects(:crack).in_sequence(breakfast)
    egg.expects(:fry).in_sequence(breakfast)
    egg.expects(:eat).in_sequence(breakfast)

Parameters:

- sequence (`Sequence`) —

  sequence in which expected method should appear.

- sequences (`*Array<Sequence>`) —

  more sequences in which expected method should appear.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def in_sequence(sequence, *sequences)
      sequences.unshift(sequence).each { |seq| add_in_sequence_ordering_constraint(seq) }
      self
    end

### #multiple_yields(*parameter_groups) ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it yields multiple times per invocation with the specified `parameter_groups`.

If no block is provided, the method will still attempt to yield resulting in a `LocalJumpError`. Note that this is what would happen if a “real” (non-mock) method implementation tried to yield to a non-existent block.

#### Examples:

#####

When `foreach` is called, the stub will invoke the block twice, the first time it passes [‘row1_col1’, ‘row1_col2’] as the parameters, and the second time it passes [‘row2_col1’, ”] as the parameters.

    csv = mock()
    csv.expects(:foreach).with("path/to/file.csv").multiple_yields(['row1_col1', 'row1_col2'], ['row2_col1', ''])
    rows = []
    csv.foreach { |row| rows << row }
    rows # => [['row1_col1', 'row1_col2'], ['row2_col1', '']]

#####

Yield different groups of parameters on different invocations of the expected method. Simulating a situation where the CSV file at ‘path/to/file.csv’ has been modified between the two calls to `foreach`.

    csv = mock()
    csv.stubs(:foreach).with("path/to/file.csv").multiple_yields(['old_row1_col1', 'old_row1_col2'], ['old_row2_col1', '']).then.multiple_yields(['new_row1_col1', ''], ['new_row2_col1', 'new_row2_col2'])
    rows_from_first_invocation = []
    rows_from_second_invocation = []
    csv.foreach { |row| rows_from_first_invocation << row } # first invocation
    csv.foreach { |row| rows_from_second_invocation << row } # second invocation
    rows_from_first_invocation # => [['old_row1_col1', 'old_row1_col2'], ['old_row2_col1', '']]
    rows_from_second_invocation # => [['new_row1_col1', ''], ['new_row2_col1', 'new_row2_col2']]

Parameters:

- parameter_groups (`*Array<Array>`) —

  each element of `parameter_groups` should iself be an `Array` representing the parameters to be passed to the block for a single yield. Any element of `parameter_groups` that is not an `Array` is wrapped in an `Array`.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def multiple_yields(*parameter_groups)
      @yield_parameters.add(*parameter_groups)
      self
    end

### #never ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that the expected method must never be called.

#### Examples:

#####

Expected method must never be called.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).never
    object.expected_method # => unexpected invocation

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).never
    # => verify succeeds

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def never
      @cardinality.exactly(0)
      self
    end

### #once ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called exactly once.

Note that this is the default behaviour for an expectation, but you may wish to use it for clarity/emphasis.

#### Examples:

#####

Expected method must be invoked exactly once.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).once
    object.expected_method
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).once
    object.expected_method
    object.expected_method # => unexpected invocation

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).once
    # => verify fails

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def once
      @cardinality.exactly(1)
      self
    end

### #raises ⇒ `Expectation` #raises(exception) ⇒ `Expectation` #raises(exception, message) ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it raises the specified `exception` with the specified `message` i.e. calls `Kernel#raise(exception, message)`.

#### Examples:

#####

Raise specified exception if expected method is invoked.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).raises(Exception, 'message')
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception and with message 'message'

#####

Raise custom exception with extra constructor parameters by passing in an instance of the exception.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).raises(MyException.new('message', 1, 2, 3))
    object.expected_method # => raises the specified instance of MyException

#####

Raise different exceptions on consecutive invocations of the expected method.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).raises(Exception1).then.raises(Exception2)
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception1
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception2

#####

Raise an exception on first invocation of expected method and then return values on subsequent invocations.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).raises(Exception).then.returns(2, 3)
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception1
    object.expected_method # => 2
    object.expected_method # => 3

Parameters:

- exception (`Class`, `Exception`, `String`, `#exception`) (defaults to: `RuntimeError`) —

  exception to be raised or message to be passed to RuntimeError.

- message (`String`) (defaults to: `nil`) —

  exception message.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def raises(exception = RuntimeError, message = nil)
      @return_values += ReturnValues.new(ExceptionRaiser.new(exception, message))
      self
    end

### #returns(value) ⇒ `Expectation` #returns(*values) ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it returns the specified `value`.

#### Examples:

#####

Return the same value on every invocation.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:stubbed_method).returns('result')
    object.stubbed_method # => 'result'
    object.stubbed_method # => 'result'

#####

Return a different value on consecutive invocations.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:stubbed_method).returns(1, 2)
    object.stubbed_method # => 1
    object.stubbed_method # => 2

#####

Alternative way to return a different value on consecutive invocations.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).returns(1, 2).then.returns(3)
    object.expected_method # => 1
    object.expected_method # => 2
    object.expected_method # => 3

#####

May be called in conjunction with #raises on the same expectation.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).returns(1, 2).then.raises(Exception)
    object.expected_method # => 1
    object.expected_method # => 2
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception1

#####

Note that in Ruby a method returning multiple values is exactly equivalent to a method returning an `Array` of those values.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).returns([1, 2])
    x, y = object.expected_method
    x # => 1
    y # => 2

Overloads:

- #returns(value) ⇒ `Expectation`

  Parameters:

  - value (`Object`) —

    value to return on invocation of expected method.

- #returns(*values) ⇒ `Expectation`

  Parameters:

  - values (`*Array`) —

    values to return on consecutive invocations of expected method.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

      @return_values += ReturnValues.build(*values)
      self
    end

### #then ⇒ `Expectation` #then(state) ⇒ `Expectation`

Returns the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

#### Examples:

#####

Using #then as syntactic sugar when specifying values to be returned and exceptions to be raised on consecutive invocations of the expected method.

    object = mock()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).returns(1, 2).then.raises(Exception).then.returns(4)
    object.expected_method # => 1
    object.expected_method # => 2
    object.expected_method # => raises exception of class Exception
    object.expected_method # => 4

#####

Using #then to change the `state` of a `state_machine` on the invocation of an expected method.

    power = states('power').starts_as('off')

    radio = mock('radio')
    radio.expects(:switch_on).then(power.is('on'))
    radio.expects(:select_channel).with('BBC Radio 4').when(power.is('on'))
    radio.expects(:adjust_volume).with(+5).when(power.is('on'))
    radio.expects(:select_channel).with('BBC World Service').when(power.is('on'))
    radio.expects(:adjust_volume).with(-5).when(power.is('on'))
    radio.expects(:switch_off).then(power.is('off'))

Overloads:

- #then ⇒ `Expectation`

  Used as syntactic sugar to improve readability. It has no effect on state of the expectation.

- #then(state) ⇒ `Expectation`

  Used to change the `state_machine` to the specified state when the expected invocation occurs.

  Parameters:

  - state (`StateMachine::State`) —

    state_machine.is(state_name) provides a mechanism to change the `state_machine` into the state specified by `state_name` when the expected method is invoked.

  See Also:

  - API#states
  - StateMachine
  - #when

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

      add_side_effect(ChangeStateSideEffect.new(state)) if state
      self
    end

### #throw(tag) ⇒ `Expectation` #throw(tag, object) ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it throws the specified `tag` with the specific return value `object` i.e. calls `Kernel#throw(tag, object)`.

#### Examples:

Throw tag when expected method is invoked.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).throws(:done)
    object.expected_method # => throws tag :done

    object.expected_method # => throws tag :done and causes catch block to return 'result'

#####

Throw different tags on consecutive invocations of the expected method.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).throws(:done).then.throws(:continue)
    object.expected_method # => throws :done
    object.expected_method # => throws :continue

#####

Throw tag on first invocation of expected method and then return values for subsequent invocations.

    object = stub()
    object.stubs(:expected_method).throws(:done).then.returns(2, 3)
    object.expected_method # => throws :done
    object.expected_method # => 2
    object.expected_method # => 3

Parameters:

  tag to throw to transfer control to the active catch block.

- object (`Object`) (defaults to: `nil`) —

  return value for the catch block.

Returns:

      add_ordering_constraint(InStateOrderingConstraint.new(state_predicate))
      self
    end

### #with(*expected_parameters_or_matchers) {|actual_parameters| ... } ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called with `expected_parameters_or_matchers`.

May be used with Ruby literals or variables for exact matching or with parameter matchers for less-specific matching, e.g. ParameterMatchers#includes, ParameterMatchers#has_key, etc. See ParameterMatchers for a list of all available parameter matchers.

Positional arguments were separated from keyword arguments in Ruby v3 (see this article). In relation to this a new configuration option (Configuration#strict_keyword_argument_matching=) is available in Ruby >= 2.7.

When Configuration#strict_keyword_argument_matching= is set to `false` (which is currently the default), a positional `Hash` and a set of keyword arguments passed to #with are treated the same for the purposes of parameter matching. However, a deprecation warning will be displayed if a positional `Hash` matches a set of keyword arguments or vice versa. This is because Configuration#strict_keyword_argument_matching= will default to `true` in the future.

When Configuration#strict_keyword_argument_matching= is set to `true`, an actual positional `Hash` will not match an expected set of keyword arguments; and vice versa, an actual set of keyword arguments will not match an expected positional `Hash`, i.e. the parameter matching is stricter.

#### Examples:

#####

Expected method must be called with exact parameter values.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with(:param1, :param2)
    object.expected_method(:param1, :param2)
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with(:param1, :param2)
    object.expected_method(:param3)
    # => verify fails

#####

Expected method must be called with parameters matching parameter matchers.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with(includes('string2'), anything)
    object.expected_method(['string1', 'string2'], 'any-old-value')
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with(includes('string2'), anything)
    object.expected_method(['string1'], 'any-old-value')
    # => verify fails

#####

Loose keyword argument matching (default)

    class Example
      def foo(a, bar:); end
    end

    example = Example.new
    example.expects(:foo).with('a', bar: 'b')
    example.foo('a', { bar: 'b' })
    # This passes the test, but would result in an ArgumentError in practice

#####

Strict keyword argument matching

    Mocha.configure do |c|
      c.strict_keyword_argument_matching = true
    end

    class Example
      def foo(a, bar:); end
    end

    example = Example.new
    example.expects(:foo).with('a', bar: 'b')
    example.foo('a', { bar: 'b' })
    # This now fails as expected

#####

Expected method must be called with a value divisible by 4.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with() { |value| value % 4 == 0 }
    object.expected_method(16)
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with() { |value| value % 4 == 0 }
    object.expected_method(17)
    # => verify fails

Parameters:

- expected_parameters_or_matchers (`*Array<Object,ParameterMatchers::Base>`) —

  expected parameter values or parameter matchers.

Yields:

- optional block specifying custom matching.

Yield Parameters:

- actual_parameters (`*Array<Object>`) —

  parameters with which expected method was invoked.

Yield Returns:

- (`Boolean`) —

  `true` if `actual_parameters` are acceptable.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

### #with_block_given ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called with a block.

#### Examples:

#####

Expected method must be called with a block.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with_block_given
    object.expected_method { 1 + 1 }
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with_block_given
    object.expected_method
    # => verify fails

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def with_block_given
      @block_matcher = BlockMatchers::BlockGiven.new
      self
    end

### #with_no_block_given ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called without a block.

#### Examples:

#####

Expected method must be called without a block.

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with_no_block_given
    object.expected_method
    # => verify succeeds

    object = mock()
    object.expects(:expected_method).with_block_given
    object.expected_method { 1 + 1 }
    # => verify fails

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.

    def with_no_block_given
      @block_matcher = BlockMatchers::NoBlockGiven.new
      self
    end

### #yields(*parameters) ⇒ `Expectation`

Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it yields to the block with the specified `parameters`.

If no `parameters` are specified, it yields to the block without any parameters.

If no block is provided, the method will still attempt to yield resulting in a `LocalJumpError`. Note that this is what would happen if a “real” (non-mock) method implementation tried to yield to a non-existent block.

May be called multiple times on the same expectation for consecutive invocations.

#### Examples:

#####

Yield when expected method is invoked.

    benchmark = mock()
    benchmark.expects(:measure).yields
    yielded = false
    benchmark.measure { yielded = true }
    yielded # => true

#####

Yield parameters when expected method is invoked.

    fibonacci = mock()
    fibonacci.expects(:next_pair).yields(0, 1)
    sum = 0
    fibonacci.next_pair { |first, second| sum = first + second }
    sum # => 1

#####

Yield different parameters on different invocations of the expected method.

    fibonacci = mock()
    fibonacci.expects(:next_pair).yields(0, 1).then.yields(1, 1)
    sum = 0
    fibonacci.next_pair { |first, second| sum = first + second }
    sum # => 1
    fibonacci.next_pair { |first, second| sum = first + second }
    sum # => 2

Parameters:

- parameters (`*Array`) —

  parameters to be yielded.

Returns:

- (`Expectation`) —

  the same expectation, thereby allowing invocations of other Mocha::Expectation methods to be chained.
