I've specified
a queue on the RabbitMQ server called MyQueue. It
is durable and has x-dead-letter-exchange set to MyQueue.DLX.
(I also have an exchange called MyExchange bound to that queue, and another exchange called MyQueue.DLX, but I don't believe
this is important to the question)
If I use ruby's amqp gem to subscribe to those messages I would do it like this:
# Doing
this before and in
a new thread has to do with how my code
is structured
# shown here in case it has
a bearing on the question
Thread.new do
AMQP.start('amqp://guest:
[email protected]:5672')
end
EventMachine.next_tick do
channel = AMQP::Channel.new(AMQP.connection)
queue = channel.queue("MyQueue", :durable => true, :'x-dead-letter-exchange' => "MyQueue.DLX")
queue.subscribe(:ack => true) do |metadata, payload|
p metadata
p payload
end
end
If I execute
this code with the queues and exchanges already created and bound (as they need to be in my set up) then RabbitMQ throws the following error in its logs:
=ERROR REPORT==== 19-Aug-2013::14:25:53 ===
connection <0.19654.2>, channel 2 - soft error:
{amqp_error,precondition_failed,
"inequivalent arg 'x-dead-letter-exchange'for queue 'MyQueue' in vhost '/': received none but current
is the value 'MyQueue.DLX' of type 'longstr'",
'queue.declare'}
Which seems to be saying that I haven't specified the same
Dead Letter Exchange as the pre-existing queue - but I believe I have with the queue = ... line.
Any ideas?
