Module info
To use Actor TestKit add the module to your project:
- sbt
val PekkoVersion = "1.0.3" libraryDependencies += "org.apache.pekko" %% "pekko-actor-testkit-typed" % PekkoVersion % Test
- Maven
<properties> <scala.binary.version>2.13</scala.binary.version> </properties> <dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.pekko</groupId> <artifactId>pekko-bom_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> <version>1.0.3</version> <type>pom</type> <scope>import</scope> </dependency> </dependencies> </dependencyManagement> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.pekko</groupId> <artifactId>pekko-actor-testkit-typed_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies>
- Gradle
def versions = [ ScalaBinary: "2.13" ] dependencies { implementation platform("org.apache.pekko:pekko-bom_${versions.ScalaBinary}:1.0.3") testImplementation "org.apache.pekko:pekko-actor-testkit-typed_${versions.ScalaBinary}" }
We recommend using Pekko TestKit with ScalaTest:
- sbt
libraryDependencies += "org.scalatest" %% "scalatest" % "3.2.14" % Test
- Maven
<properties> <scala.binary.version>2.13</scala.binary.version> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.scalatest</groupId> <artifactId>scalatest_${scala.binary.version}</artifactId> <version>3.2.14</version> <scope>test</scope> </dependency> </dependencies>
- Gradle
def versions = [ ScalaBinary: "2.13" ] dependencies { testImplementation "org.scalatest:scalatest_${versions.ScalaBinary}:3.2.14" }

Introduction
Testing can either be done asynchronously using a real ActorSystem
ActorSystem
or synchronously on the testing thread using the BehaviorTestKit
BehaviorTestKit
.
For testing logic in a Behavior
Behavior
in isolation synchronous testing is preferred, but the features that can be tested are limited. For testing interactions between multiple actors a more realistic asynchronous test is preferred.
Those two testing approaches are described in:
