Expect "Object" to receive message not working as expected

I have this spec:

it 'makes a request to google if redis is empty' do
  fetch_cfm_data

  expect(GoogleCalendarApi::V1::Client).to receive(:get_cfm)
end

I've debugged the messages being called during this process of my test and GoogleCalendarApi::V1::Client.get_cfm is certainly being called because I can pry inside of that method during the test run. Why does my test return this failure?

Failure/Error: expect(GoogleCalendarApi::V1::Client).to receive(:get_cfm)

       (GoogleCalendarApi::V1::Client (class)).get_cfm(*(any args))
           expected: 1 time with any arguments
           received: 0 times with any arguments

You need to first set expectations, and then call the method under test:

  expect(GoogleCalendarApi::V1::Client).to receive(:get_cfm)
  fetch_cfm_data

See more in rspec-mocks docs.
