I'm not sure if you found an answer to this.  I came across your post 
when I was looking for an answer to the same thing.  The best way I 
found is to use flexmock (or other mock tool).

flexmock($stdout){|mock| mock.should_receive("puts").with("enter 
something")}
flexmock($stdin){|mock| mock.should_receive("gets").and_return("junk")}
