rspec users - Jun 2011 - how to mock/stub when there are multiple model objects?

I''m a bit confused how to hook into a particular model object instance
and
mock/stub it?

I understand how to hook into a class level method like:


User.should_receive(:where).and_return(....)

but what if my method looks like:

def some_thing

   user = User.where("...")


   user2 = User.where("...")

   user.delete

   user2.update_attributes(some_attr)


end



How can I hook into one or both model instances of ''user'' and
''user2'' at the
same time in the same test?

Or is it only possible to do it one at a time?

User.should_receive(:where).with("...").and_return(...)

Thanks.

I''m trying this now on a Model that is using Mongoid.

I have tried:

it "should ..." do

   User.stub(:some_call).and_return(User.new(:name => "blah"))

end

And when running spec on this file I get:

NoMethodError, undefined method "stub" for User:Class

I also tried:

User.stub!(:some_call)....

Does this not work on mongoid objects?

It should work on any object (class objects and instance objects), so it sounds
like there is a configuration problem. What''s in your Gemfile?
