ThreadError on terminating actor

[Jonas Osborn]

New to celluloid and ruby in general so might be basic, but thanks for any help.

Receiving these Errors when trying to terminate an actor and am very confused:

E, [2016-08-11T23:56:47.585372 #8561] ERROR -- : Actor crashed!

ThreadError: Target thread must not be current thread

        /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.2.4/gems/celluloid-0.17.3/lib/celluloid/task/fibered.rb:14:in `block in create'

relevant code is here:

queue.rb:

def finish (game)

  game.terminate

end

game.rb:

def timeout

  @queue.finish(Actor.current)

end

not sure if relevant but timeout is called by a timer in game.rb as @timer = after(FINISH_TIMEOUT) { timeout }

Any help much appreciated.

Regards

You've got a thread telling another thread to tell the calling thread to terminate, which makes no sense.  How is the stack supposed to unwind?

def timeout

  terminate

end

Problem solved.
