Class InternalTestActorRef

Namespace
Akka.TestKit.Internal
Assembly
Akka.TestKit.dll

INTERNAL This special ActorRef is exclusively for use during unit testing in a single-threaded environment. Therefore, it overrides the dispatcher to CallingThreadDispatcher and sets the receiveTimeout to None. Otherwise, it acts just like a normal ActorRef. You may retrieve a reference to the underlying actor to test internal logic. Note! Part of internal API. Breaking changes may occur without notice. Use at own risk.

Unwatch(IActorRef)

Deregisters 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. Returns the same ActorRef that is provided to it, to allow for cleaner invocations.

public void Unwatch(IActorRef subject)

Parameters

subject IActorRef

The subject to unwatch.
