One thing to be aware of when stubbing: There is no cleanup/revert logic yet in Cucumber. This means that if you stub a class method, it will remain stubbed for subsequent scenarios. This means high risk of coupled scenarios and unpredictable behaviour if you run scenarios in different orders. If you need a cleanup facility (remove stubbed methods after a scenario), please file a feature request.
