Impressionist gem and Friendly_id

Question

I have a Rails app with impressionist and friendly id, I want to show page views in my articles. The problem is that impressionist is not registering the number of views.

It's the same problem here on impressionist's bug tracker .

My articles model:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  is_impressionable
  extend FriendlyId
  friendly_id :title, use: [:slugged, :history]
  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :category

Articles controller:

def show
  @article = Article.find(params[:id])

  if request.path != article_path(@article)
    redirect_to @article, status: :moved_permanently
  end
  respond_to do |format|
     format.html 
     format.json { render json: @article }
  end    
end

I also restarted the server, but having the same issue.

Answer 1

Ok there is a work around. Just add impressionist(@model) in the show controller

def show
  @article = Article.find(params[:id])
  impressionist(@article)

   if request.path != article_path(@article)
      redirect_to @article, status: :moved_permanently
   end
   respond_to do |format|
    format.html 
    format.json { render json: @article }
  end    
end

Answer 2

Little tip for unique functionality:

def show
  @article = Article.find(params[:id])
  impressionist(@article, nil, { unique: [:session_hash] })
end
