As I mentioned, akka.test.timefactor only affects test utilities (expectMsg and
friends),
not ask nor any other Timeouts that you may have set in your application.
Time dilation is documented in the TestKit section AFAIR, and that's where it
applies, not to the entirety of Akka :-)
You can manually (or write a .dilated function) do the same in application
code, but it's not something we provide.
If you really want dilation to apply to app level timeouts, you can use
something like:
def dilated(d: FiniteDuration)(implicit system: ActorSystem): FiniteDuration =
(duration *
system.settings.config.getDouble("akka.test.timefactor")).asInstanceOf[FiniteDuration]
to write `myDuration.dilated`.
Happy hakking!

Hi Konrad,
Thanks for your answer. I thought the timefactor was applied to all timeouts,
for example also to the timeout used for akka.pattern.ask inside the actor you
are testing. I was using a timeout on an ask of 100ms, the tests on the build
server failed, but using akka.test.timefactor seems to have solved that. Did I
misunderstand?
Kind regards,
Jan-Pieter

Hi Jan!
Thanks for asking,
This is expected behaviour though, not a bug.
The akka.test.timefactor affects only the testing utilities, like expectMsg and
it's friends.
If you want to you can apply dilation manually, based on env variables to your
timeouts (in prod code).
Thanks and happy hakking!

Hi,
I'm running into a problem when performing asynchronous integration tests for
an actor on a Jenkins build server. As suggested in the documentation
(http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.9/scala/testing.html#Accounting_for_Slow_Test_Systems)
I am using akka.test.timefactor to increase the timeouts. It seems however
that the ReceiveTimeout that is set in the actor using
context.setReceiveTimeout is not multiplied by this factor. Is this expected
behaviour or might this be a bug?
I am running on Akka 2.3.9; the release notes of newer versions do not mention
fixing an issue regarding this.
Kind regards,
Jan-Pieter
