rspec users - Feb 2007 - having should_receive expectation for things that happen in setup

Hi!

The following example doesn''t work for me: http://pastie.caboo.se/41732

However, if the call to msg() happens in the specify block after the 
expecation and not in the setup, it will pass.

Why is this? I thought the setup method was there to actually 
''construct'' the context and the specifications are some kind
of
"postconditions" that only need to be validated after that - am I 
thinking wrong here?

Greetings,

Esad

should_receive sets up expectations for things that will happen
subsequently. In your example, foo.msg gets called before
foo.should_receive(:msg)

Make sense?
