Ruby Rspec Mock Same instance to behave different in the first and second call

I have a code that looks like this:

def call(some_id:)
  verify_before = @verify.call(some_id)
  return verify_before if verify_before.sucess?

  did_something = @processor.call(some_id)
  return did_something unless did_something.sucess?
  
  @verify.call(some_id)
end

I would like to mock @verify so in the first time it will return sucess? = false and on the second call it will return true

What is the best approach?

Yes, you can tell RSpec mocks to return different values on each call.

The following example would return false on the first call and true on all later calls:

allow(@verify).to receive(:sucess?).and_return(false, true)

How to integrate this into your tests depend on how you set @verify and how your tests look like in general.
