Deserialization of Generic class throws InvalidCastException

[marko-savic]

I'm using Akka.Serialization.Hyperion 1.1.3.32-beta,
On receiver side i never receive message when message contains Maybe<MyCustomClass> due deserialization exception.

Is this problem may be related to Hyperion or i need to register custom serializer or something i'm missing?

Stack trace:

@marko-savic could you isolate this exception and provide some reproducible example?

I have tried simple test only with latest Hyperion and struct Maybe<T> . Everything seems to work correct. However when using Akka.Serialization.Hyperion 1.1.3.32-beta within actor system i got System.InvalidCastException.

So simple working example is communication between two actors in CLR. Just turn on serialization for every message:
akka { actor { serialize-messages = on } }

And send one message like this:

class TestMessage { Maybe<MyTestClass> testField = Maybe<MyTestClass>.From(new MyTestClass()); } public MyTestClass { }

where Maybe<T> is struct provided in a file.
