Change in the number-requests

[esther]

Hello, everyone! I'm doing my job to get the request for /urls/:short_url should return the url pages and increase the number of requests by 1 (as I understand, it's the number of them to get.) To this end, I have an Url model that contains fields s_url:string and request_number:integer and a code for the method to show in the counteraller:

def show
    if !Url.where(s_url: request.original_url.to_s).blank?
      url = Url.find_by_s_url(request.original_url.to_s)
      url.request_number += 1
    else
      url = Url.create(s_url: request.original_url, request_number: 1)
      url.save
    end
render json: url, status: 200

end

And that's the problem: the counter is raised only once (from 1 to 2), and then not updated at all. This is the line of the database that was altered in the first place. How do you fix that?

After the addition, the unit did not write to maintain the database: url.save

Once this line is added, it works.
