trait TestKitBase extends AnyRef

Implementation trait behind the pekko.testkit.TestKit class: you may use this if inheriting from a concrete class is not possible.

This trait requires the concrete class mixing it in to provide an pekko.actor.ActorSystem which is available before this traits’s constructor is run. The recommended way is this:

class MyTest extends TestKitBase {
  implicit lazy val system = ActorSystem() // may add arguments here
  ...
}

    Receive one message from the internal queue of the TestActor.

    Receive one message from the internal queue of the TestActor. If the given duration is zero, the queue is polled (non-blocking).

    Receive a series of messages until one does not match the given partial function or the idle timeout is met (disabled by default) or the overall maximum duration is elapsed or expected messages count is reached. Returns the sequence of messages.

    Note that it is not an error to hit the max duration in this case.

    One possible use of this method is for testing whether messages of certain characteristics are generated at a certain rate:

    test ! ScheduleTicks(100 millis)

    Execute code block while bounding its execution time between min and max.

    Execute code block while bounding its execution time between min and max. within blocks may be nested. All methods in this trait which take maximum wait times are available in a version which implicitly uses the remaining time governed by the innermost enclosing within block.

    Note that the timeout is scaled using Duration.dilated, which uses the configuration entry "pekko.test.timefactor", while the min Duration is not.
