I want to test the in case of some fail no method will be called on a mock object , using google mock. so the code be something like:

auto mocObj = new MockObj;
EXPECT_NO_METHOD_CALL(mocObj); //this is what I'm locking for

auto mainObj = new MainObj(mocObj , ......and other mocks); // here I simulate a fail using the other mock objects, and I want to be sure the no methods are called on the mockObj

There are no needs to explicitly tell that no methods will be called. If you set the logging level high enough, you should get a message if a method is called (if no expectation is set).

Other then that, you can set expectations like this : 

EXPECT_CALL( mockObj, Foo(_) ).Times(0);

on all methods.
