Return multiple mock objects from a mocked factory function which returns std::unique_ptr

Question

How to return multiple mock objects from a mocked factory function which returns std::unique_ptr?

Return(ByMove(...)) cannot be used to return multiple times.

Trying to work from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/70751684/3545094

I came up with this:

class MyType {
 public:
  virtual ~MyType() {}
};

class MyTypeMock : public MyType {};

class MyFactory {
 public:
  virtual ~MyFactory() {}
  virtual std::unique_ptr<MyType> create() = 0;
};

class MyFactoryMock : public MyFactory {
 public:
  MOCK_METHOD0(create, std::unique_ptr<MyType>());
};

TEST(SomeTest, MyTestCase) {
  MyFactoryMock myFactoryMock;
  EXPECT_CALL(myFactoryMock, create())
    .Times(3)
    .WillRepeatedly([]() { return std::make_unique<MyTypeMock>(); });

  (void)myFactoryMock.create();
  (void)myFactoryMock.create();
  (void)myFactoryMock.create();
}

Problem is conversion from lambda to Action it seems:

/.../my_test.cc: In member function ‘virtual void SomeTest_MyTestCase_Test::TestBody()’:
/.../my_test.cc:122:111: error: cannot convert ‘SomeTest_MyTestCase_Test::TestBody()::<lambda()>’ to ‘const testing::Action<std::unique_ptr<MyType>()>&’
  122 |   EXPECT_CALL(myFactoryMock, create()).Times(3).WillRepeatedly([]() { return std::make_unique<MyTypeMock>(); });
      |                                                                                                               ^

      |                                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~

What am I missing?

Stepping gtest/gmock to 1.10 solves this issue.
