So the example here is not very realistic because the route does not depend
on any actors:

http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4.9/scala/http/routing-dsl/testkit.html#Usage

I have a status api that returns Either[APIError, StatusDTO].

    val statusRoute = path("status") {

      get {

        handleErrors {

          onSuccess(requestHandler ? RequestHandler.AskForStatus) {

              complete(result)

          }

        }

      }

    }
 Pondering whether to make a mock actor for requestHandler, or use a probe.

This works:

      Get("/status") ~> myRoute ~> check {

        requestHandlerProbe.expectMsgClass(100 millis,
RequestHandler.AskForStatus.getClass)

      }

This times out

      Get("/status") ~> myRoute ~> check {

        requestHandlerProbe.expectMsgClass(100 millis,
RequestHandler.AskForStatus.getClass)

     val result: Either[APIError, StatusDTO] = Right(StatusDTO("message"))

        requestHandlerProbe.reply(result)

        println(this.responseEntity)

      }

Any errors in my use of probe.reply ? Would it be better to test response
marshalling on its own and limit routing tests to expectMsg?
