You get that automatically if you use the `gtest_main` library already. **Important note:** gMock requires expectations to be set **before** the mock -functions are called, otherwise the behavior is **undefined**. In particular, -you mustn't interleave `EXPECT_CALL()s` and calls to the mock functions. +functions are called, otherwise the behavior is **undefined**. Do not alternate +between calls to `EXPECT_CALL()` and calls to the mock functions, and do not set +any expectations on a mock after passing the mock to an API. This means `EXPECT_CALL()` should be read as expecting that a call will occur *in the future*, not that a call has occurred. Why does gMock work like that? |
