feature request: Mockito.anyTimes()

[rogerdpack]

Hello.  Today I reached for (for some reason) "Mockito.anyTimes()" for an argument captor usage.

Consider this a feature request :)
(I know I can do it with atLeast(0) but that doesn't quite explain clearly intent, at least in my head).

Cheers!

Hi,

I have the feeling this doesn't make sense, `anyTimes` feels like such a verification is irrelevant in the test. While TDD is about ensuring interactions happen or not depending a scenario that triggers these interactions or not.

To me if it's irrelevant to the success of the test this verification should be removed. If this is really something wanted, I'd first consider to craft a mockito test util that can match wanted naming conventions.

Cheers,

Brice,  I wondered whether Roger was actually looking for a synonym for atLeastOnce().  Yes, I know he said atLeast(0), but to me, that doesn't make too much sense.  

Either way, if this were put to a vote, I'd be voting against having this feature.  As you know, I'm quite opposed to cluttering the API with multiple names for the exact same feature.

Regards,
David.

Agreed, this is not about building a English mocking specific language ;)

OK initially I need/wanted it for something like "assure that this
particular logger logged a message including this string" and I would
iterate over all the messages (even if none) and check them. But
turns out there's a matcher for that anyway (Matchers.contains) but
thanks for the feedback! :)
