Does "EasyMock.expectLastCall();" do anything without a further call to resulting IExpectationSetters?
easymock, void
Solution
No, you only usually use `expectLastCall()` when you need the result to specify behaviour. That's its purpose.
Of course, it does no harm to call it if you find it makes your test more readable. For example, I might do that for consistency - if I've had to call it twice in order to specify more behaviour, I might include it a third time even if I didn't need to. I'd probably add the default behaviour explicitly though, just for additional consistency.
Problem
Consider this code snippet:- ``` Whatever mock = EasyMock.createMock( Whatever.class ); mock.doSomething(); EasyMock.expectLastCall(); // <- Does this do anything? EasyMock.replay( whatever ); ``` Does `expectLastCall()` here actually do anything? Adding or removing this line from my test appears to make no difference. Obviously it is useful if you add `.andThrow` or `.atLeastOnce()`, etc. to the call. That is not what I'm asking about.
