Ok after reading the documentation which says : *The supervisor itself is supervised by the top-level actor provided by the ActorSystem, which has the default policy to restart in case of all Exception cases (with the notable exceptions of ActorInitializationException and ActorKilledException). Since the default directive in case of a restart is to kill all children, we expected our poor child not to survive this failure.*
So I change my code to do not override preStart, postStart and let the top-level actor use the default strategy. Now I have this code : case class ActorConsumer() extends Actor with ActorLogging { var x : Int = 0 def receive = { case y : Int => println("receive = " + y) x = x + y println("x = " + this.x) case LetItCrash => sender ! x throw new Exception case Get => sender() ! x } } class TestResumeActor extends TestKit(ActorSystem("foo")) with ImplicitSender with WordSpecLike with Matchers with BeforeAndAfterAll { override def afterAll() = { TestKit.shutdownActorSystem(system) } "An actor consumer" must { "get 1 even exceptions are throws" in { val actorRef = TestActorRef[ActorConsumer] actorRef ! 1 actorRef ! LetItCrash expectMsg(1) actorRef ! Get expectMsg(1) } } } The test fails again and I didn't defined a fail over strategy like in my first post. Also, because I'm in a test environment, do I need to do something special when create a child of actor system ?
