Using sinon and sinon-qunit in our front end unit tests, and I'm struggling to understand the difference in these methods. We are using sinon.sandbox.stub() (literally that is the function, we do not create a sandbox) and these stubs are apparently restored after each test automatically. I just don't see this anywhere in the documentation.

I wouldn't think that this method exists, I would think you would need to explicitly create a sandbox using sinon.sandbox.create(). On that sandbox object you would call the stub function, i.e. mySandbox.stub(), not "sinon.sandbox.stub()".

Could anyone help me understand?
