Re: [Nmock-general] What shall we do for the next version

[David A. <dta...@co...>]

I REALLY like the mockObject.ExpectAndReturn("Method", value, "arg") syntax.
I hope that isn't going to be replaced with
mockObject.Expects(once()).Method("Method").With(eq("arg")).Will(returnValue
(value)).  In my opinion jMock should change to be like NMock!
