Tell us what’s happening:

Test 2 and 3 dont pass, but code works fine:

const originalUrls = [];
const shortUrls = [];

app.post('/api/shorturl', (req,res)=>{
  const url = req.body.url;
  const foundIndex = originalUrls.indexOf(url)

  if(!url.includes('https://') && !url.includes("https://")){
    return res.json({error:'invalid url'})
  }

  if(foundIndex<0){
    originalUrls.push(url)
    shortUrls.push(shortUrls.length)

    return res.json({
      original_url: url,
      short_url: shortUrls.length-1
    })
  }

  return res.json({
    original_url: url,
    short_url: shortUrls[foundIndex]
  })
})

app.get("/api/shorturl/:shorturl",(req, res)=>{
  const shorturl = parseInt(req.params.shorturl);
  const foundIndex = shortUrls.indexOf(shorturl)

  if(foundIndex<0){
    return res.json({
      "error": "No short URL found for the given input"
    })
  }

  res.redirect(originalUrls[foundIndex])
})

Your URL validation code is not working.

Open the browser dev tools and look at the request/response in the network tab when you submit your code.

See an issue here?

if (!url.includes("https://") && !url.includes("https://"))
