[Rspec-users] overriding mock expectations

[Micah Martin]

There is one annoyance I'm encountering with the  Mock API in rSpec.   
Overall it works well, as far as dynamic mocks go ;)... but there's  
this one thing... It doesn't allow overriding of expectations.

example:

m = mock("blah")
m.should_receive(:one).any_number_of_times().and_return(1)
m.should_receive(:one).and_return(1)

The second call to should_receive is ignored.  I believe it would be  
most convenient if the second call to should_receive would override  
the first.

Why?

What I would like to do is define all the should_receives once in the  
setup using any_number_of_times.  This establishes a default  
context.  Then in each spec I'd like to override a specific  
should_receive relevant to the spec.

Without being able to override, I am force to define all the  
should_receives for each spec..... duplication.

Is there another solution I'm missing?
