How to fake (i.e. not even mock) an actor system ?

[Maatary Okouya]

I have a Service class that takes an actor system at construction time. Some of the method of the service use spray client, that's the reason. 

For testing other method of the class i need to provide for a dump actor system simply for the initialization of the class. Is there a way to get a dump actor system, i don't even need to mock it. 

One solution that i see is to wrap my actor system in an option and have some logic in the code that would deal with. Then that would allow me to test the method of of my service that do not need it. I would instantiate my class with None for the purpose of the test.  

But that is just too trick for so little.

If the ActorSystem is not needed for the initialization of the service then why do you pass it in the constructor? You could just pass it into those methods that need it instead. Or split up the service into two parts along this line.
