Description

Hello. I have tried to test an SSE route, but unfortunately, a method "check" has failed with an error "Futures timed out after [1 second]".

As I understood, the method "check" awaits completing of the request, but this request is SSE which holds a connection permanently and reconnects if the connection has been lost.

So, how to test such methods? It was very good if it can be tested as web sockets.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into the Akka HTTP test kit documentation for testing streaming responses, or use a custom client that closes after receiving the first event for SSE.
