I haven't used ActiveRecord in quite awhile (been using MongoDB), but it looks
like you cannot instantiate a record with attributes that don't exist. I think
you have two options here:
1.) Only use valid attributes in your params.
2.) Add `with` to your stub to exactly match the arguments to `.new`:
Post.stubs(:new).with({last_post_params: {foo: 'bar'}}).returns(fake_post)
