Cleaning up sinon stubs easily

Question

Is there a way to easily reset all sinon spys mocks and stubs that will work cleanly with mocha\'s beforeEach blocks.

I see sandboxing is an option but I do not see

You may use sinon.collection as illustrated in this blog post (dated May 2010) by the author of the sinon library.

The sinon.collection api has changed and a way to use it is the following:

beforeEach(function () {
  fakes = sinon.collection;
});

afterEach(function () {
  fakes.restore();
});

it('should restore all mocks stubs and spies between tests', function() {
  stub = fakes.stub(window, 'someFunction');
}
