System.TypeLoadException: Cannot instantiate transport [Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport.AkkaIOTransport, Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport].

Question

I came across this error while trying out the AKKA.NET IO following this tutorial:

http://getakka.net/docs/IO#akka-i-o

I get this error:

System.TypeLoadException: Cannot instantiate transport [Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport.AkkaIOTransport, Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport]. 

Answer 1

The error is caused by the fact that the IO package has been refactored so instead of having this HOCON configuration:

        transport-class = "Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport.AkkaIOTransport, Akka.Remote.AkkaIOTransport"

you should have this:

                  transport-class = "Akka.Remote.Transport.AkkaIO.AkkaIOTransport, Akka.Remote"
