Mocking and Stubbing Controllers

I'm scratching my head a little trying to figure out how to
mock and
stub controller methods.  For instance,

def index
  # Where current_user is a protected controller method
  articles = current_user.articles.find(:all)
end

That's a pretty common sort of call in a controller.  How
are you guys
mocking and stubbing such calls?  I'm currently using Mocha,
but I
doubt this will effect what your approach is.

Ideas?  Thoughts?  Tips?  I'm all ears.

Try this:

current_user = mock_model(User)
controller.stub!(:current_user).and_return(current_user)
