what purpose does `notifier.verify` in your test_does_not_notifies_on_republish spec? It seems like a no-op.

In reply to Lucas Mazza. Oh okay. That's less intuitive than I like my tests to be, but I can definitely see how that can be used. Thanks for the response!

In reply to Brandon Conway. In this case, if the code ends up calling `notifier.notify!` we would get a "NoMethodError: unmocked method :notify!" exception. In RSpec we would probably write something in the lines of `expect(notifier).to_not receive`, but Minitest::Mock does not have an API for this type of negative exception, but we can settle for the NoMethodError for this test case.

Are you missing something in your mocking/stubbing example? It seems like your test_does_not_notifies_on_republish spec should specify that it expects not to receive notify!. If you don’t have an error here, can you explain how it knows what you are verifying?

God, I wish I could have seen the “pimp” version of this post.
