- AkkaSpecSpec failed with nothing in the locker, but only on Jenkins
- cause: Davy Jones doesn’t get a chance to run because nobody actually
waits for his processing
- thus, give him permission to leave this world and have him confirm
that
- when no name was given, it resulted in a simple call to the provider
- which is completely the wrong thing to do in case of ActorSystem
- so, introduce CreateRandomNameChild op for guardians and use that
The reason for the previously failing test case was that Jenkins has
only two (logical) cores and the test config sets the
core-pool-size-factor to 2, meaning four threads. This is not enough to
have four Futures waiting (as per the test) and one actor which actually
does the work (the guardian in this case). Hence, make it so that
core-pool-size-min gives the absolute minimum and set the default of
that to eight.
While doing so I cleaned up the MessageDispatcherConfigurator to not use
HOF since now configuration items are not optional anymore, yielding a
flow which is much more readily understandable.
- I had reused akka.actor.timeout for ActorSystem.actorOf calls (which
“ask” the guardian to create the actor), but 5sec proved too short for
Jenkins
- CreationTimeout defaults to 30sec now, let’s hope Jenkins is not
slower than _that_.
* Added JavaActorContext, UntypedActor.getContext
* implicit val context in Actor needs to be implicit to support forward,
it would be nice if it wasn't implicit because now I can't override context
in UntypedActor
* Removed implicit def system in Actor
* Removed implicit def defaultTimeout in Actor
* Removed receiveTimeout, children, dispatcher, become, unbecome, watch,
unwatch in Actor
* Removed corresponding as above from UntypedActor
* Removed implicit from dispatcher in ActorSystem
* Removed implicit def timeout in TypedActor
* Changed receiveTimeout to use Duration (in api)
* Changed many tests and samples to match new api
If automatically generated names contains * and ?, they might do
something strange when being looked up. There was no real issue with our
current tests, but I just want to avoid the issue.
- uncovered nasty endless loop bug wrt. dead letters and a dead listener
- fixing that bug removed the MainBusReaper (sigh)
- also fix compilation of tutorial-first, but that REALLY needs to be
changed not to create RoutedActorRef using new!
