TestActorRef

Directly inject messages into actor receive behavior. Any exceptions thrown will be available to you, while still being able to use become/unbecome.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

Retrieve reference to the underlying actor, where the static type matches the factory used inside the constructor. Beware that this reference is discarded by the ActorRef upon restarting the actor (should this reference be linked to a supervisor). The old Actor may of course still be used in post-mortem assertions.

Unregisters this actor from being a death monitor of the provided ActorRef This means that this actor will not get a Terminated()-message when the provided actor is permanently terminated.

Sends a one-way asynchronous message. E.g. fire-and-forget semantics.

If invoked from within an actor then the actor reference is implicitly passed on as the implicit 'sender' argument.

This actor 'sender' reference is then available in the receiving actor in the 'sender()' member variable, if invoked from within an Actor. If not then no sender is available.

 actor ! message

Comparison takes path and the unique id of the actor cell into account.

Equals takes path and the unique id of the actor cell into account.

Forwards the message and passes the original sender actor as the sender.

Works, no matter whether originally sent with tell/'!' or ask/'?'.

Obtain ActorRef by possibly traversing the actor tree or looking it up at some provider-specific location. This method shall return the end result, i.e. not only the next step in the look-up; this will typically involve recursive invocation. A path element of ".." signifies the parent, a trailing "" element must be disregarded. If the requested path does not exist, return Nobody.

Obtain parent of this ref; used by getChild for ".." paths.

Method for looking up a single child beneath this actor. Override in order to inject “synthetic” actor paths like “/temp”. It is racy if called from the outside.

Calculate a hash code value for the object.

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

Get a reference to the actor ref provider which created this ref.

Resumes a suspended actor.

Starts the actor after initialization.

Shuts down the actor and its message queue

Suspends the actor so that it will not process messages until resumed. The suspend request is processed asynchronously to the caller of this method as well as to normal message sends: the only ordering guarantee is that message sends done from the same thread after calling this method will not be processed until resumed.

Sends the specified message to this ActorRef, i.e. fire-and-forget semantics, including the sender reference if possible.

Pass pekko.actor.ActorRef noSender or null as sender if there is nobody to reply to

Returns the path for this actor (from this actor up to the root actor).
