Given the following code:
class A extends Actor {
def act() {
loop {
reactWithin(1000) {
case _ => println("A Message")
}
}
}
}
and
class B extends A {
val test = Actor.actor {
loop {
reactWithin(1000) {
case "B" => println("B Message")
}
}
}
}
Creating an instance of B val t = new B()
throws the following exception:
scala.actors.Actor$$anon$1@452bb7e0: caught java.lang.AssertionError: assertion failed: react on channel belonging to other actor
