I'm getting the following error when trying to use this package.

  TypeError: stub(obj, 'meth', fn) has been removed, see documentation

You can install a previous version of sinon. I tried the recommended one (4.1.3) and it works now:

$ npm install --save-dev sinon@4.1.3

Thanks @alemuro - this saved me a lot of time :)

I should not recommend downgrading your version, instead you can do something like this:

let stub = sinon.stub(obj, "meth").callsFake(() => {
      return {
        meth2: sinon.stub().callsFake(() => {
          return {
            meth3: sinon.stub().returns(yourFixture),
          };
        }),
      };
    });

I've fixed this in the PR that I just made. If it's merged you will be able to easily use the newest version of sinon.
