stub helper for avoid twitter request

[rdavila]

Hi folks, I'm using the twitter gem for get my last tweets and I've a
recent_tweets helper in my application_helper, this helper is used in
layout level, then I want to stub this helper and avoid the twitter
request because my tests are very slow, how to I can stub this helper
for all my functional tests?

Thanks.

You may want to think about stubbing the HTTP request to Twitter using webmock[1] or fakeweb[2] instead of stubbing your helper.

Best,
Mike
