How do I unstub in rspec 3 without enabling the old syntax?

Question

I am upgrading from rspec 2 to rspec 3 and would like to use the new syntax and not enable the old syntax. But I have a few stubs that I set up in my top-level before(:each) block that I selectively unstub where I want the original implementation.

Is there some equivalent way to remove a stub when I've defined it with the new allow syntax?

You could redifine them with

expect(Person).to receive(:find).and_call_original

which will additionaly check that the original :find method was called on person

Ah, I didn't know I could redefine it. Seems obvious now! I also see I can redefine with allow as well. Thanks! – Michaelmas

You need to specify the instance of the object you want to unstub. i.e. If my Person instance lives in company.boss, then you need to call expect(company.boss).to receive(:find).and_call_original – Sunburst
