The problem with not_to raise_error is that it's a tad confusing. It
could be interpreted either that you meant no error at all to be raised,
or an error to be raised but not of the given type.
I'd probably write it it as a positive:
expect { actor.method_that_raises_an_error }.to
raise_error(SpecificTypeOfErrorImExpecting)
This will fail if the error ended up being a DeadActorError or if the
method wasn't called but didn't raise an error.
Does this help at all? I hope I understood you fully.
