Do not try to coerce "" for numeric & date params#1
Merged
Conversation
When using an HTML form for searching or filtering and a field is left blank, Rails puts an empty string in the params hash, and this raised an unexpected InvalidParameterError when we defined the param as a non-required Integer, Float, Date, etc. Now we will treat that empty string as an un-supplied param and only reject it if the param is flagged as required. - added shared examples for Float tests - nested shared examples in the appropriate scope

Additional Notes
I suggested this improvement for the
rails_paramgem over a year ago (nicolasblanco#103) - the maintainers mistakenly thought this was a breaking change for JSON APIs and declined to provide an example.
