Well, if articles is already scoped, you just say:
user.should_receive('articles').and_return(some_articles)
To make sure your articles method is scoped, write a model test that hits
the database, and verify that only the user's articles are returned.
As Daniel Tenner says, you should try to keep your controllers as thin as
possible. In addition you should try to keep your tests as fast as possible
- and you typically do that by not hitting the DB.
