rspec expect to receive not working

I have the following class structure:

class A
  def process(processor)
    processor.process_x
  end
end

class Processor
  def process_x
  end
end

and the following test:

context "when process is called" do
  object_a = A.new
  processor = Processor.new

  it "calls processor.process_x" do
    object_a.process(processor)
    expect(processor).to receive(:process_x)
  end
end

but the test keeps failing. I even put a byebug and saw the processor's process_x method being called

how can I troubleshoot this?

I see my problem, after reading this I realized I should add the expectation first, then invoke the method:

context "when process is called" do
  object_a = A.new
  processor = Processor.new

  it "calls processor.process_x" do
    expect(processor).to receive(:process_x) *** HERE
    object_a.process(processor) *** HERE
  end
end
