Hi all,
The section here:
http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.4/scala/testing.html#Testing_parent-child_relationships
Has some good advice on doing child creation via dep injection so I could
pass in mock children during testing. That's great, but the example is a
bit of a toy because you can't pass a name or non-default properties, which
makes it pretty useless for anything real-world.
I ended up doing this:
type ActorMaker = (ActorRefFactory, Props, String) => ActorRef
private def childMaker(f: ActorRefFactory, p: Props, actorName: String) = {
f.actorOf(p, actorName)
}
class MyClass(...stuff...
childActorFactory: ActorMaker = CLFSM.childMaker)
And then calling it like
childActorFactory(context,
SomeChild.props(props, go, here),
"SomeName")
That's fine, I guess, but seems a little uglier than necessary.
I tried defining childMaker with an implicit ActorRefFactory, but then the
class can't compile because it's trying to find the ActorRefFactory
"outside" of the class, since that is where default values are evaluated.
Is there a more clever way I can do this without having to pass "context"
every time inside my class? Is there a better way I can do it entirely?
Thanks!
Spencer
