Hi all,

I am trying to send a message to an actorRef, 5 seconds apart, for each line in a file. Here's how I'm attempting to do this:

val filename = "conf/my_file.json"
    val lines = scala.io.Source.fromFile(filename).getLines.toList
    for (line <- lines) {
      Akka.system.scheduler.scheduleOnce(5 seconds) {
        testStream ! Message(line)
      }
    }


The whole for loop runs immediately you are scheduling all lines to be delivered in 5 seconds time (approximately the same time give or take a few ms over the loop run.

Cheers

In this case testStream is the actorRef. The behavior I have here is unexpected. Instead of having each line messaged with a 5 second delay, there is instead an initial delay of 5 seconds, then it seems like testStream ! Message(line) is being invoked as it normally would for the number of lines in the file. Instead what I was hoping was to still retain that initial 5 second delay, send testStream a message, go to the next line in the file, then send another Message in 5 seconds and so forth.

What am I doing wrong here that's causing that behavior to not go through?

Thanks for the help.

Matthew
