Myron, I see what you are saying. Thank you for giving me the technical
reason of why this doesn't work as expected for me.
I managed to make it work with rspec stubs. So rspec handles stubbing with
more delicacy, not changing visibility of the stubbed method, while mocha
takes the sledgehammer approach.
CnuConfig.stub(:test).and_return({"blah" => "blag"})
CnuConfig.public_class_method(:test) # YAY I can access my stub!
Regarding your point with using a double, I would like to to that I can't
do it here because I'm writing an integration test.
