使用TestActorRef测试actor崩溃

我是演员新手,我正在学习如何使用TestActorRef

测试演员

我的演员代码:

package actors

import actors.GreetingActor.Hi
import akka.actor.Actor

object GreetingActor {
  case class Hi()
}

class GreetingActor extends Actor {

  var greeting = ""

  override def receive: Receive = {
    case Hi() =>
      greeting = "Hi"
    case _ =>
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("not supported message")
  }

  override def postRestart(reason: Throwable) = {
    println(s"actor is restarted because of ${reason.getMessage}")
  }
}

我确信在此代码中一切正常,但我无法在测试中显示它。特别是我无法表现出最重要的一件事,就是我的演员坠毁了。测试非常简单明了我发送的消息不是Hi(),并且应该以某种方式跟踪该演员与IllegalArgumentException崩溃的情况。我目前的测试代码:

package actors

import actors.GreetingActor.Hi
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.testkit.{TestActorRef, TestKit}
import org.scalatest.{MustMatchers, WordSpecLike}

class GreetingActorTest extends TestKit(ActorSystem("testsystem")) with WordSpecLike
  with MustMatchers with StopSystemAfterAll {

  "A Hello Actor" must {
    "change state when it receives a message, single threaded" in {
      val greetingActor = TestActorRef[GreetingActor]
      greetingActor ! Hi()
      greetingActor.underlyingActor.greeting mustBe "Hi"
    }
    "throw exception when it received unknown message, single threaded" in {
      val greetingActor = TestActorRef[GreetingActor]
      greetingActor ! "hi"
      //some code that checks that actor crashed
    }
  }

}

问题是如何在测试中跟踪我的演员使用TestActorRef坠毁?感谢任何帮助。

将测试更改为以下内容:

"throw exception when it received unknown message, single threaded" in {
  assertThrows[IllegalArgumentException] {
      val greetingActor = TestActorRef[GreetingActor]

      greetingActor.receive("hi")
  }
}

根据actor文档,您需要使用receive,以便不会吞下异常:
