Stubbing renders

Testing RSpec

Hi guys. I’m curious to know why this method of stubbing a render fails:
ActionController::Base.stub!(:render_to_string).and_return ‘something’

And why this is [one of] the correct methods:
controller.stub_render :partial => ‘/some/partial’

Cheers,
Nick

Please ignore that email. I should be calling #stub! on the controller
in question, rather than on ActionController::Base , like so:
controller.stub!(:render_to_string.and_return ‘something’
