How about extracting the actor’s behaviour to a trait, and test that trait for
the expected throw behaviour using plain old ScalaTest `intercept[Exception] {
… }`, would it make sense in your case or are the interactions “very relying on
the thing being an actor”?
Having that said, it’s just my personal preference to test like this.
So other options are…
a) what you described already, preparing a special parent actor
b) overriding `aroundReceive(…)` in the tested actor, since it’s “around”,
you can have your `intercept[…]` code there. (Feels a bit weird though.)
I hope one of these options fits you! :-)
