RSpec and the Basecamp API

I realise that this is kind of a basic question but I’m new to rspec and
still trying to work out how to do things. I’m working on a rails
project
that requires basecamp integration via the api, which is fairly trivial
to
use via the basecamp.rb wrapper:

Connection:
basecamp = Basecamp.new(APP_CONFIG[‘api_host’],
APP_CONFIG[‘api_username’],
APP_CONFIG[‘api_pwd’])

And to retrieve a list of Projects:
puts “Projects: #{basecamp.projects}”

I know how to make this work in the model, I’m just having trouble
working
out how to create a usable mock for this in rspec. I can’t work out to
mock
‘basecamp.projects’ with an object which can then be used in the tests.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I’m just a bit stuck with it.

basecamp = mock(“basecamp api”,;projects => <>)
Basecamp.stub!(:new).and_return(basecamp)

So for the projects one, you could return an array, or a bunch of
mocks, or a string. Just make it match how the Basecamp API is behaving.
