SupervisionStrategy is ignored when set on a routee

[object]

I noticed that Akkling behaves differently comparing to Akka.FSharp API when it comes to specifying supervision strategy for routers.

Let's say I want to set the following strategy to manage exceptions on router children:

let routeeStrategy () = Strategy.OneForOne((fun ex -> Console.WriteLine("Invoking routee strategy") Console.WriteLine("Restarting actor") Directive.Restart)

So when creating a router I pass this strategy: spawn mailbox.UntypedContext actorId { props workerActor with Router = Some routerConfig; SupervisionStrategy = Some <| routeeStrategy() } |> ignore

I also set a strategy on the higher level actor (router supervisor):

let routerStrategy () = Strategy.OneForOne(fun ex -> Console.WriteLine("Invoking router strategy") Console.WriteLine("Resuming actor") Directive.Resume)

and create a supervisor: let supervisor = spawn system "runner" <| { props supervisingActor with SupervisionStrategy = Some <| routerStrategy() }

What happens is that the first (routee) strategy is never applied: whenever exception occurs at a routee level, the routerStrategy is applied and the actor is always resumed.

But if I set routeeStrategy when creating a supervisor, then the router itself will be restarted (with all routees). And I only want to restart the single child.

So I am bit lost right now: how do I set two different strategies for the router and its children. Am I overlooking something?

To summarize in short, it looks like in the statement

{ props workerActor with Router = Some routerConfig; SupervisionStrategy = Some <| routeeStrategy() }

the SupervisionStrategy property is never used when the Router is not None.

... and it works if I specify SupervisionStrategy like this:

let routerConfig = FromConfig.Instance.WithSupervisorStrategy(routeeStrategy()) :> RouterConfig

Then the question: shouldn't it also work if SupervisionStrategy is set like in the example above? Otherwise it's just ignored.

Is it the case only for routers or for all kinds of actors?

[object]

No this happens only with routers. Since I have now both working and not working scenarios I can look more into this and hopefully come with a PR.

I've added a test that confirms the issue. However it looks like the supervisor strategy is correctly attached to props, it just doesn't get triggered for some reason.

That's weird. Because it gets triggered for the original F# API.
