I think the general consensus is that if you need this feature, then
you have ugly code that needs cleaning up :) If you're in a situation
like me, where you're too noob to figure out a better solution for
some legacy code that you inherited, go to this url and find the
instructions for installing Mocha:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Testing+Plugins
With it you can do:
ModelName.any_instance.stubs(:the_method).returns(happy_times)
However, I strongly encourage you to stare at your current code for a
while and try to find a cleaner MVC-supportive solution. The general
rule of thumb is that if it's difficult to write a spec for, then your
code is ugly :) Hopefully in this case you can take this as an
opportunity to improve your code. If not, Mocha works fairly well!

Is there an easy way to stub an instance method for every new
instance of a given class? I suppose I could just redefine the
method, but I'm wondering if the RSpec mocking framework has this
built in.
Hi Jed
I hate it when other people ask this, but I can't help :) How come
you need to do this? I've always wondered what the use case for
this "mocking" strategy is
