Thanks for the reply, Scott.

What you describe is what is currently being done.

now = Time.now
Time.stub!(:now).and_return(foo_time)
do_stuff
Time.stub!(:now).and_return(now)

However, this is not returning the actual time it is only returning the time set on the first line. I need Time.now to return to its original behavior
(i.e., returning the current, actual time).

Well, every time you create a stub, rspec aliased the method before it
destroys it:
http://gist.github.com/1ed96143092a02cb727b
It's ugly, but it will work.

Here's another solution, without needing to resort to the library:
http://gist.github.com/e573cb79073805a632c9
Of course, this solution only works if you don't have other stubs on Time.

It also only works as long as that method keeps its name :) That
method is explicitly :nodoc:'d which indicates that it is an internal
method and therefore subject to change. Not saying I plan to change
it, just that of now it is not a public API.

That said, this thread suggests that we need a public API for
resetting partial stubs like this. I'm thinking something more
intention revealing like tear_down_rspec_stubs or something like that.
Thoughts? Recommendations?

Would it be possible to get a handle to the individual stub and tear that down?

stub = Time.stub!(:now).and_return(foo_time)
# do stuff
stub.remove

Allowing you to do stuff like

with_stubbed_time(foo_time) do
  # do stuff
end

I can't seem to find a good way to do this. If I stub out Time.now in one of my specs but need to return it to its original functionality then can I
remove the stub?

So I'd like to say something like:
Time.stub!(:now).and_return(foo_time)
Time.now # => foo_time
Time.unstub!(:now)
Time.now # => whatever time it actually is


Capture it before you stub it:

real_now= Time.now

Time.stub!(:now).and_return a_later_time

Time.stub!(:now).and_return real_now


Is this possible? I noticed $rspec_mocks.reset_all, but obviously I don't
want everything to go away, just this one stub.
