# Expect A Method To Be Called And Actually Call It
You can assert that a method is called without actually executing it. This is
often what `expect(...).to receive(:method_name)` is used for. If you do want
that method called, RSpec can accommodate you.
Let's say we have the following two classes:
```ruby
class Greeting
def self.say_hello
raise "Don't actually execute this"
puts "Hello"
end
end
class GreetingService
def self.run
Greeting.say_hello
end
end
```
We can assert that `say_hello` gets called without actually raising the
exception (first `it` block). If we tack on `and_call_original` then RSpec will
make the assertion and execute the method (second `it` block).
```ruby
describe "expect and call original" do
it "expect the message is received" do
expect(Greeting).to receive(:say_hello)
GreetingService.run
# passes
end
it "expect and call original" do
expect(Greeting).to receive(:say_hello).and_call_original
GreetingService.run
# fails, RuntimeError
end
end
```
