# Expection Methods:
at_least(minimum)
Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called at least a
minimum number of times.
at_least_once
Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called at least
once.
never
Modifies expectation so that the expected method must never be called.
raises(exception = RuntimeError, message = nil)
Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it raises
the specified exception with the specified message.
returns(value)
Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it returns
the specified value.
times(range)
Modifies expectation so that the number of calls to the expected method must
be within a specific range.
with(*arguments, &block)
Modifies expectation so that the expected method must be called with
specified arguments.
yields(*parameters)
Modifies expectation so that when the expected method is called, it yields
with the specified parameters.
