RSpec: How do I stub a Sorcery method call in a controller?

Controller:

class SessionsController < ApplicationController
  layout 'login'

  def create
    user = login(params[:username], params[:password])
    if user
      redirect_back_or_to root_url
    else
      flash.now.alert = "Username or password was invalid"
      render :new
    end
  end
end

Test:

require 'spec_helper'

describe SessionsController do

  describe "POST create" do

    before(:each) { Fabricate(:school) }

    it "Should log me in" do      
      post(:create, {'password' => 'Secret', 'username' => 'director'})
      response.should redirect_to('/')
    end
  end

end

Fabricate(:school) has a callback that generates the first user. I want to refactor this code so that is doesn't use any database calls at all. I want to stub the login call so tht it returns true.

How could I stub the login method? It comes from Sorcery.

Since the Sorcery login method is added as an instance method to the controller, you have to mock the method on the current controller instance, i.e. '@controller'. See http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/TestCase.html.

With Flexmock:

flexmock(@controller).should_receive(:login).and_return(flexmock('user')).once

Or RSpec mocks:

@controller.stub(:login) { double "user" }
