How does one stub promise with sinon?

Question

I have a data service with following function

function getInsureds(searchCriteria) {

    var deferred = $q.defer();

    insuredsSearch.get(searchCriteria,

I had a similar situation and the accepted answer and comments were not working, but along with this question they helped me solve this in the following way. I hope it is helpful for somebody.

var Promise = require('bluebird');

var deferred = Promise.defer();
stub = sinon.stub(deferred, 'resolve').returns(deferred.promise);

deferred.resolve({data: data});
// or
deferred.reject(new Error('fake error'));
