Lesson 2.1 - No longer throws an exception in initial state

[sambeckingham]

Lesson 2.1 begins with the scenario that the application fails due to cross-thread operations. However, using .NET 4.5 and Akka 1.1.1, (current state of master), this exception is no longer thrown. How come Akka no longer has an issue with this scenario? Is there another way we can recreate this error for the purposes of education on dispatchers, or does the lesson need updating to a new format to better explain?

Yeah, I'm seeing the same with .Net Core 3.1 and Akka 1.4.9.

I get mixed results for this. Opening the initial state Unt2-DoThis (as in the downloaded zip from the paid for bootcamp package), which has Akka 1.1.1 I DO get the cross thread exception when running in Visual Studio 2019, but DO NOT when running in Rider. No that doesn't make sense to me either, but thought I'd comment FWIW.

In Rider, go to Settings>Build, Execution, Deployment and in the Exceptions section tick "Break on user-unhandled exceptions". See Rider documentation on this here. Then the debugger will stop execution on this exception.
