Hi Harit, as you are passing in Props to the TestActorRef apply method <https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/8485cd2ebb46d2fba851c41c03e34436e498c005/akka-testkit/src/main/scala/akka/testkit/TestActorRef.scala#L134>, you will have to specify type of your actor because Props do not have a type parameter:
val runner = TestActorRef[Runner](Props(new Runner(new Marathon))) Alternatively, you can use a different TestActorRef apply method <https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/8485cd2ebb46d2fba851c41c03e34436e498c005/akka-testkit/src/main/scala/akka/testkit/TestActorRef.scala#L130> that accepts a code thunk that returns a new instance of your actor: val runner = TestActorRef(new Runner(new Marathon)) On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 7:13 AM, Harit Himanshu < [email protected]> wrote: > Hey there, > > This is what my actor looks like > > object Runner { > def props(race: Race) = Props(classOf[Runner], race)} > class Runner(race: Race) extends Actor with ActorLogging { > > import context.dispatcher > > @throws[Exception](classOf[Exception]) > override def postRestart(reason: Throwable): Unit = context.parent ! > RestartRunner > > override def receive: Receive = LoggingReceive { > case Start => { > log.debug("running...") > for (i <- 1 to 3) { > Thread.sleep(200) > } > throw new RuntimeException("MarathonRunner is tired") > } > > case StartWithFuture => > log.debug("I am starting to run") > race.start pipeTo self > > case Failure(throwable) => throw throwable > > case Stop => > log.debug("stopping runner") > context.stop(self) > }} > > and this is what my test looks > > import akka.actor.{Props, ActorSystem}import akka.testkit.{TestActorRef, > TestKit}import org.scalatest._ > class RunnerSpec extends TestKit(ActorSystem("test"))with WordSpecLikewith > MustMatchers { > "A Runner Actor" must { > val runner = TestActorRef(Props(new Runner(new Marathon))) > "receive messages" in { > runner !
