Description
Description
Mock throws ExpectationError: Anonymous mock already called once when called twice, even with two preprogrammed returns()/resolves().
To Reproduce
const myMock = sinon.mock()
.returns('something')
.returns('something else');
myMock();
myMock(); // Throws 'ExpectationError: Anonymous mock already called once'
Expected behavior
Mock should be able to be reusable, as far as I know. It would be useful in case the system under test calls the function multiple times. I know this works with stubs.
