Mockery & PHPUnit: method does not exist on this mock object

Can you tell me where's the problem? I have a file GeneratorTest.php with the following tests:

<?php

namespace stats\Test;

use stats\jway\File;
use stats\jway\Generator;

class GeneratorTest extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
{

    public function tearDown() {
        \Mockery::close();
    }

    public function testGeneratorFire()
    {
        $fileMock = \Mockery::mock('\stats\jway\File');
        $fileMock->shouldReceive('put')->with('foo.txt', 'foo bar')->once();
        $generator = new Generator($fileMock);
        $generator->fire();
    }

    public function testGeneratorDoesNotOverwriteFile()
    {
        $fileMock = \Mockery::mock('\stats\jway\File');
        $fileMock->shouldReceive('exists')
            ->once()
            ->andReturn(true);

        $fileMock->shouldReceive('put')->never();

        $generator = new Generator($fileMock);
        $generator->fire();
    }
}

and here are File and Generator classes:

File.php:

class File
{
    public function put($path, $content)
    {
        return file_put_contents($path, $content);
    }

    public function exists($file_path)
    {
        if (file_exists($file_path)) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
}

Generator.php:

class Generator
{
    protected $file;

    public function __construct(File $file)
    {
        $this->file = $file;
    }

    protected function getContent()
    {
        // simplified for demo
        return 'foo bar';
    }

    public function fire()
    {
        $content = $this->getContent();
        $file_path = 'foo.txt';

        if (! $this->file->exists($file_path)) {
            $this->file->put($file_path, $content);
        }
    }

}

So, when I run these tests, I get the following message: BadMethodCallException: Method ... ::exists() does not exist on this mock object.

The error message seems clear to me. You only did setup a expectation for the put method, but not exists. The exists method is called by the class under test in all code paths.

public function testGeneratorFire()
{
    $fileMock = \Mockery::mock('\stats\jway\File');
    $fileMock->shouldReceive('put')->with('foo.txt', 'foo bar')->once();

    //Add the line below
    $fileMock->shouldReceive('exists')->once()->andReturn(false);

    $generator = new Generator($fileMock);
    $generator->fire();
}
