That's what I had hoped to do, but as I stated in my description, the
difficult situation involved a model I couldn't get ahold of in the
scope of my spec. If I was able to instantiate it somehow myself I
would have just stubbed the method. This probably means I've got some
code in the controller that shouldn't live in the controller,
however. If I refactor it properly I doubt I'll need any more fancy
tricks like this. Thanks!
