Matt, Thanks.
Continued work on this problem has shifted the emphasis, but I'm still blocked and could use help. I've changed the request from a GET to a POST, just to remove uncertainty around the availability of the request.body for processing in the controller. I now have the following error from the controller... JSON::ParserError: unexpected token at 'loan_request=4000000' ...where the controller code line in question is... data = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(request.body.read) ...and the ActionController::TestCase test initiation of the error was... request = 4_000_000 post :loan, {:loan_request=>request, :format => :json} ...finally the test log of the request is... Processing by Sec223fAcquisitionController#loan as JSON Parameters: {"loan_request"=>"4000000"} Completed 500 Internal Server Error in 28ms Can someone please offer thoughts, or, perhaps better, an example of the same kind of attempt, successfully made using either Rais TestCase or RSpec?
