Why mock with no expectations not failing

[henrikrudstrom]

This package looks awesome, but i would have expected these tests to fail:

package frontpage_test

import (
	"context"
	"testing"

	"github.com/go-redis/redismock/v8"
	. "github.com/onsi/ginkgo"

	. "github.com/onsi/gomega"
)

func TestFrontpage(t *testing.T) {
	RegisterFailHandler(Fail)
	RunSpecs(t, "Frontpage Suite")
}

var _ = FDescribe("Reader", func() {
	It("should fail", func() {
		redisCli, redisMock := redismock.NewClientMock()
                 // No expectations set, so this should fail right?
		_ = redisCli.Set(context.TODO(), "key", "value", 0).Err()

		Expect(redisMock.ExpectationsWereMet()).To(BeNil())
	})

	It("should fail", func() {
		redisCli, redisMock := redismock.NewClientMock()
                 // just setting an expectation that is fullfilled, to see if that helps...
		redisMock.ExpectPing()
		redisCli.Ping(context.TODO())
		_ = redisCli.Set(context.TODO(), "key", "value", 0).Err()

		Expect(redisMock.ExpectationsWereMet()).To(BeNil())
	})
})

Im calling a Set that is not expected, why is that not failing?

All expected commands have been executed.

ok, but shouldnt it fail, or, it would be nice to set it up to fail if a command is executed that should not be executed. In my case i want to ensure nothing is written to redis in certain cases. is there a way to set that up?

You will receive the error returned by the command.

// fail
err = redisCli.Set(context.TODO(), "key", "value", 0).Err()
Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())

ah. thats how it is intended. Unfortunately that doesnt solve my case. the method im testing is handling the error (and not returning it), so i wont be able to assert that Set was never called.

i like the behaviour of testify (https://github.com/stretchr/testify). it panics when an unexpected method is called, causing the test to fail.

Would be nice to be have a toggle that panics instead of returning an error mock.PanicOnUnexpectedCall(true) or somthing. Happy to provide a PR for that. (i guess its a matter of adding an if statement around here: https://github.com/go-redis/redismock/blob/master/mock.go#L153)

Running into the same issue. It's quite confusing that the mock does not fail on unexpected method calls.
