How to override a config object setting

I have a config file for an app that uses akka remote:

...
akka {
    actor {
        provider = "akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider"
    }
    remote {
        enabled-transports = ["akka.remote.netty.tcp"]
...

And for another app I have a config file that includes the file with this setting. But I don't want to use akka remote in this app so I need to 'unset' it. I have tried the doing the following:

akka {}

but the previously defined akka setting still persists. Is there a way to 'unset' the previous setting in my config file?

Solution

  • Just override to switch back to the LocaLActorRefProvider, which is the default setting for akka.actor.provider. You won't need to change akka.remote.enabled-transports as what you have there is already the default. So just add this config in the other project:

    akka{
  actor {
    provider = "akka.actor.LocalActorRefProvider"    
  }
}
