Class JavaTestKit

java.lang.Object
  extended by akka.testkit.JavaTestKit

public class JavaTestKit
extends java.lang.Object

Java API: Test kit for testing actors. Inheriting from this class enables reception of replies from actors, which are queued by an internal actor and can be examined using the expectMsg... methods. Assertions and bounds concerning timing are available in the form of Within blocks.

Beware of two points:


Nested Class Summary
 class JavaTestKit.AwaitAssert
          Await until the given assert does not throw an exception or the timeout expires, whichever comes first.
 class JavaTestKit.AwaitCond
          Await until the given condition evaluates to true or the timeout expires, whichever comes first.
 class JavaTestKit.EventFilter<T>
          Facilities for selectively filtering out expected events from logging so that you can keep your test run’s console output clean and do not miss real error messages.
 class JavaTestKit.ExpectMsg<T>
          Receive one message from the test actor and assert that the given matching function accepts it.
 class JavaTestKit.IgnoreMsg
          Ignore all messages in the test actor for which the given function returns true.
 class JavaTestKit.ReceiveWhile<T>
          Receive a series of messages until one does not match the given match function or the idle timeout is met (disabled by default) or the overall maximum duration is elapsed.
 class JavaTestKit.Within
          Execute code block while bounding its execution time between min and max.
