Update dependency versions
Akka.TestKit.Xunit Changes
Due to breaking API change in Xunit 2.5.0, updating to Akka.NET 1.5.9 might break your unit tests. Some of the breaking change that we've noticed are:
AkkaEqualException
constructor has been changed due to changes in Xunit API. If you're using this class, please use theAkkaEqualException.ForMismatchedValues()
static method instead of using the constructor.AggregateException
thrown. Either use async all the way or manually unwrap the exception.Asset.Equal()
does not automatically check for collection item equality anymore, that means doingAssert.Equal()
between two dictionary or list would not work anymore.FsCheck.Xunit
, you will need to use a pragma to disable this check:#pragma warning disable xUnit1028
