> In your example you are stubbing a class method. In your implementation you
have defined an instance method. To have this work for your given
implementation you need to know about the instance you are working with, ie:
it "should interpret stub correctly" do
sh = SayHello.new()
sh.stub!(:say_hello).and_return 'NO'
sh.say_hello.should eql('NO')
end
Hope this helps,
