I am using Go 1.19 on a windows machine with 8 cores, operating system is
Windows 10 Pro. I used the mockgen tool to generate the mock.When I debug
my test I see the mocked method is recorded when I execute the EXPECT()
function.The mocked function is called, but test fails with 'missing call'
on the mocked function.
Can anyone please point what I am doing wrong ?
