Mocha raise exception first call, return value second call

[Raymond O'Connor]

Is there a way to have mocha raise an exception the first time an stub
is called, and then return a value the second time it is called?

First example, I'm trying to connect to a server and test the case where
my first attempt raises a 'Server busy' exception or something of that
sort. So I wait, then retry and then the second time the connection is
successful.

Cheers!
Ray

Thanks for the help both of you! I ended up using the method James
proposed (it was cleaner ).

Very interesting thread too. From a usability standpoint, adding a
raises method to TestCase seems to provide the most intuitive syntax...
at least for me it does. Can't wait to see how things pan out!
