why is this OCMock verify failing?

Question

Not sure if I'm using OCMocks correctly, or if it's because I'm using the cocoapods version and not the .lib file.

Here's the test(s)

#import "MWViewControllerTests.h"
#import "MWViewController.h"
#import "OCMockObject.h"
#import "MWGoogleTrends.h"
#import "OCMockRecorder.h"

@implementation MWViewControllerTests {

    MWViewController *vcSUT;
    id googleTrends;
    NSArray *trends;
}

- (void)setUp
{
    [super setUp];
    vcSUT = [[MWViewController alloc] init];
    googleTrends = [OCMockObject mockForClass:[MWGoogleTrends class]];
    vcSUT.googleTrends = googleTrends;
    trends = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"trend1", @"trend2", @"trend3", nil];
    [[[googleTrends stub] andReturn:trends] getLatestTrends];
}

- (void)tearDown
{
    // Tear-down code here.
    [super tearDown];
}

- (void)test_ViewDidLoadShouldCallGoogleTrends_getLatestTrends
{
    [[googleTrends expect] getLatestTrends];
    [vcSUT view];  // calls loadView
    [googleTrends verify];
}

@end

Here's the VC:

@implementation MWViewController {

    NSArray *_trends;
}

@synthesize googleTrends;

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    _trends = [self.googleTrends getLatestTrends];
}

The googleTrends is a property in the header of course:

 @property (nonatomic, strong) MWGoogleTrends *googleTrends;

I would imagine it's being invoked because the following tests below it are passing:

- (void)test_numRowsInTableViewShouldBeNumOfTrendsReturnedFromGetLatestTrends {

    [vcSUT view];
    int numSections = [vcSUT tableView:nil numberOfRowsInSection:0];
    STAssertEquals(numSections, 3, @"should be 3 sections");
}

- (void)test_cellForRowAtIndexPath_should_return_cell_with_trendName_as_text {

    [vcSUT view];
    UITableViewCell *cell1 = [vcSUT tableView:nil cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0]];
    UITableViewCell *cell2 = [vcSUT tableView:nil cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:1]];
    UITableViewCell *cell3 = [vcSUT tableView:nil cellForRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:2 inSection:2]];

    STAssertEquals(cell1.textLabel.text, @"trend1", @"cell text should be correct trend name");
    STAssertEquals(cell2.textLabel.text, @"trend2", @"cell text should be correct trend name");
    STAssertEquals(cell3.textLabel.text, @"trend3", @"cell text should be correct trend name");
}

@end

also getting this warning from the compiler, not sure if it related in any way:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/Users/markw/Projects/XCode/OReillyCasts/MWGoogleTrends/Pods/build/Release-iphoneos'

OCMockObject[MWGoogleTrends]: expected method was not invoked: getLatestTrends. ETA: updated above to show that the tests below it are passing, so ViewDidLoad is being called and the stubbed results are being returned. — Mark W, Nov 07 '12 at 19:39
I think (it's been a while since I actually used OCMock) that it's because you've stubbed the method previous to setting up the expectation that the same stub method is going to be called. — InsertWittyName, Nov 07 '12 at 20:07

Yes, the issue is with stubbing the method.

I had to stub the method on the mock only for the test methods that needed the stub, the expectation passes when I took out the stubbing from the Setup.
