oh... in that case my code changes won't work. The watcher is not the parent of the actor.

Will it work if the watcher is child of the same parent of the Terminated actor?

Note that this advice is correct but only when the parent actor receives the Terminated, i.e. it does not hold for top level actors where you can only watch from the "outside". tors 8 okt. 2015 kl. 11:46 skrev Kostas kougios <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>>:

    Thanks, I am doing that now and hopefully it works (the issue
    occurred very rarely, so I have to wait and see)

        Don't create the replacement actor until you've received a
        Terminated message for the original actor.

            I get the same exception even if I set an AtomicBoolean to
            true at:

            override def postStop() = {
                stopped.set(true)
                super.postStop()
            }


            and then

            while (!stopped.get) {
                Thread.sleep(1)
              }


            Is there a way to "block" and wait till the actor stops?
            (don't worry about the block part, it is only for test cases)

            Thanks
