Hello all,
Is there a way to explicitly tell a mock to expect no messages and give
an error if it does? I believe this is the default behavior, but thought
it might be nice for code readers to see.
Thank you!

You can tell it to expect not to receive a specific message, but there
is no way to say that it should not receive any messages.
Cheers,

Right - Sebastian noted that in the original post - but he’s looking
for something explicit.

You never have to ask to make a feature request - just make one:

Document it in the mock object’s name.
my_mock = mock(‘never receives a message’)
I don’t see any reason why something should be added to RSpec core.

Well how about:
describe “an object which should not get any messages” do
it “should not receive any messages” do
o = mock(“Object”)
o.should_not_receive(:a_damned_thing)
o.foo
end
end
