rspec users - Jan 2008 - RSpec and the Basecamp API

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I''m new to rspec
and
still trying to work out how to do things. I''m working on a rails
project
that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial to
use via the basecamp.rb wrapper:

Connection:
basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[''api_host''],
APP_CONFIG[''api_username''],
APP_CONFIG[''api_pwd''])

And to retrieve a list of Projects:
puts "Projects: #{basecamp.projects}" 

I know how to make this work in the model, I''m just having trouble
working
out how to create a usable mock for this in rspec. I can''t work out to
mock
''basecamp.projects'' with an object which can then be used in
the tests.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I''m just a bit stuck with it.

basecamp = mock("basecamp api",;projects => <<whatever you
expect to
get from the projects call>>)
Basecamp.stub!(:new).and_return(basecamp)

So for the projects one, you could return an array, or a bunch of  
mocks, or a string. Just make it match how the Basecamp API is behaving.
