rspec users - May 2011 - RSpec stub question

Hi

I am using Mongoid. In Mongoid while saving a record we typically give
like in the controller
@post.safely.save
For a model class Post

I am writing rspecs for my controller and want to mock the model. So
what I am doing is

let(:post) { mock_model(Post).as_null_object }

before(:each) do
  Post.stub(:new).and_return(post)
end
it "creates new post"
   Post.should_receive(:new).and_return(post)
end

#how do I stub safely.save also here and test whether it receives save
call?

Thanks
Arun
