Akka.TestKit: deleted `IAsyncQueue`; replaced with `System.Threading.Channel<T>` #7157

Aaronontheweb · 2024-04-11T12:55:24Z

Changes

Fixes #7145 - this should resolve some of the "async continuation problems" reported there. Going to add a reproduction for that case specifically, but moreover this change allows us to delete 6 files worth of old shared state concurrent programming code, which is always a good thing.

Running locally and seeing a bunch of test failures from InternalTryReceiveOneAsync - which makes me think my CancellationToken usage is wrong there.

Aaronontheweb · 2024-04-11T12:58:45Z

Looks like it's the ExpectNoMsgAsync implementation that's blowing up.

This spec was able to reproduce the deadlock reported in #7145 on dev - changes so far allows these specs to pass.

Made the InternalTestActor actually internal, instead of public for some forsaken reason.

Have to do this instead of playing around with CancellationTokens expiring, because otherwise those work via throwing exceptions. This allows us to gracefully determine if we've hit the next point because stuff was ready or because time expired.

Looks good overall, left a few possible improvement notes

src/core/Akka.TestKit/TestKitBase_Receive.cs

                take = (didTake, item);
            }
            else if (maxDuration.IsPositiveFinite())
            {
                ConditionalLog(shouldLog, "Trying to receive message from TestActor queue within {0}", maxDuration);
-                take = await _testState.Queue.TryTakeAsync((int)maxDuration.TotalMilliseconds, cancellationToken)
-                    ;
+                var delayTask = Task.Delay(maxDuration, cancellationToken);


since maxDuration is infinite, it is possible for the Delay Task to survive until the end of the test process, causing a memory leak. For this to be leak safe, we'd need to use a linked CancellationTokenSource, use that token, and Cancel and Dispose of it with a try..catch

maxDuration cannot be infinite here - that is explicitly checked by IsPositiveFinite. The TimeSpan.Ticks value is -1 when it's infinite.
