Unable to set owner in Public Activity Gem

Question

I have a social media app, having users along with question/response model in my rails app. I am using pubic activity gem in this application. I have followed the steps as per the railscast. I have also followed this documentation below:

https://github.com/chaps-io/public_activity#setup

In my activities.json response am getting:

"owner_id":null,"owner_type":null

Activites_controller.rb file:

class ActivitiesController < ApplicationController
     def index
        @activities = PublicActivity::Activity.order("created_at desc")

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.json {render json: @activities.to_json()}
    end
    end 
end

Acivities view file

<h1>Activities</h1> 
<% @activities.each do |activity|%>   
 <div class="activity">
   <%= link_to activity.owner.name, activity.owner if activity.owner %>
   <%= render_activity activity %>  
 </div>
<% end %>

Can anyone please help me figure out what the issue is?

Thanks.

To set owner with activity you will need to add owner option with tracked in your model like this

tracked owner: :author
