Shut down akka system with spray from non akka system - scala

Question

Im very new to akka and futures in scala. Im using spray to get the output of a URL and return a Future[String] to another object. Here is the object that is making the HTTP request.
object ActionsService {
private implicit val formats = DefaultFormats
implicit val system = ActorSystem()
import system.dispatcher
val pipeline = sendReceive ~> unmarshal[String]
def getActions: Future[String] ={
val out = getOutput("http://www.google.com")
out
}
def getOutput(url: String): Future[String] ={
val response = pipeline (Get (url) )
response
}
def shutdown(code: Int): Unit = {
IO(Http).ask(Http.CloseAll)(1.second).await
system.shutdown()
}
}
And here is the main method in the other object where I am trying to shutdown the actor system.
import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val test = ActionsService.getActions
test.onComplete {
case Success(x) => println(x)
case Failure(y) => println(y)
}
ActionsService.system.shutdown()
For some reason the akka system wont shutdown. Ive also tried to shut down the akka system using my shutdown method but I get an Exception in thread "main" akka.pattern.AskTimeoutException: Timed out error (which also occurs in the main method when the shutdown method is called).
akka version is 2.2.3

Answer 1

You didn't specify version of Akka you're using but in last version you need to call
system.terminate()
instead and wait for termination like this (ass an example)
Await.ready(system.whenTerminated, Duration.Inf)

Answer 2

The answer above did not end up working for me so I had to block the thread by adding a sleep period for the main method before the shutdown method is called.
def main(args: Array[String]) {
val test = ActionsService.getActions
Thread.sleep(700)
test.onComplete {
case Success(x) => println(x)
case Failure(y) => println(y)
}
CorporateActionsService.system.shutdown()
}
