As with timeouts, sometimes you get lucky and make it in time, and sometimes 
you don't ;-)
Make sure the timeouts are reasonable, or externalise them into config and 
override it for tests if you must.

Happy hakking!

Then it must have been magic and not this configuration parameter that made the 
tests pass :)
Thanks for your clear and fast reply!

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
