I want to use spray.io with scala 2.11.x akka 2.3.x, and I find the following in the Project Info page of spray.io:
spray 1.3.1 is built against Scala 2.10.3 and Akka 2.3.0 as well as Scala 2.11.1 and Akka 2.3.2.
When I use spray-client, I meet some problem and then I find following in the Documentation page of spray.io, that the spray-client is depended on akka 2.10.x:
akka-actor 2.2.x (with ‘provided’ scope, i.e. you need to pull it in yourself)
What does with provided scope mean? How can I use it with other part of the program written in scala 2.11.x akka 2.3.x?
Edit
Following is the simplest use case listed in the documentation page:
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import scala.concurrent.Future
object main {
def main(args: Array[String]) {
import spray.http._
import spray.client.pipelining._
implicit val system = ActorSystem()
import system.dispatcher // execution context for futures
val pipeline: HttpRequest => Future[HttpResponse] = sendReceive
val response: Future[HttpResponse] = pipeline(Get("http://spray.io/"))
}
}
with build.sbt:
scalaVersion := "2.11.1"
libraryDependencies += "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % "2.3.2"
libraryDependencies += "io.spray" % "spray-client" % "1.3.1"
Although this compiles well, but it meets run time error as:
Uncaught error from thread [default-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-2] shutting down JVM since 'akka.jvm-exit-on-fatal-error' is enabled for ActorSystem[default]
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/runtime/AbstractPartialFunction$mcVL$sp

A provided dependency means, spray requires that dependency but expects the developer to provide it in their build configuration. So, you need to add akka-actor in your build configuration.
If you are using sbt, you can add the following line to you dependencies.
"com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-actor" % 2.3.2,
