Using sinon mocks with nodeunit

I'm learning to use sinon with nodeunit, specifically to do mocking. The recommended approach is to use sinon-nodeunit. According to the documentation, mocks should be available via the mock method of the test parameter to each test function.

However, this doesn't seem to work. If I run nodeunit on a file containing the following —

require('sinon-nodeunit');

exports['test sinon-nodeunit'] = function (test) {
    mock = test.mock({});
    test.done();
};

— I get this:

$ nodeunit test/test-sinon-nodeunit.js

I've installed current versions of both sinon (1.1.1) and sinon-nodeunit (0.1.2) via npm install.

require.path was removed in node 0.5.x and higher, which sinon-nodeunit uses. Christian Johansen just pushed a change in sinon-nodeunit which should be compatible with node 0.6.2 (and 0.5.x-series) which should fix this... It's already available on sinon-nodeunits github page, still hasnt hit npm though...

update: should be mentioned that sinon-nodeunit has been discontinued, as the creator is full focused on BusterJS which IMHO is a much better framework.
