Using ApplyTo on SkipMessageErrorPolicy

[alefcarlos]

Is it possible to apply rules on Skip ?

        public void Configure(IEndpointsConfigurationBuilder builder)
        {
            builder
                .AddKafkaEndpoints(
                    endpoints => endpoints

                        // Configure the properties needed by all consumers/producers
                        .Configure(
                            config =>
                            {
                                // The bootstrap server address is needed to connect
                                config.BootstrapServers = _configuration.GetValue<string>("Kafka:BootstrapServers");
                            })

                        .AddInbound<SampleMessage>(
                            endpoint => endpoint
                                .ConsumeFrom("samples-basic")
                                .Configure(config =>
                                {
                                    config.GroupId = "WebApi1";
                                })
                                .OnError(policy => policy.Skip(opts => opts.ApplyTo<ArgumentException>()))
                                )
                        .AddOutbound<SampleMessage>(
                            endpoint => endpoint
                                .ProduceTo("samples-basic")));
        }

When de exception occurs the consumer stops:

As per the log, the ArgumentException is wrapped in a TargetInvokationException so you'd need to check the inner exception instead (using ApplyWhen).

I know it's not ideal but I noticed just recently that the exceptions thrown by sync subscribers (not returning Task) aren't unwrapped correctly. It's possible that I will fix this in the next major release.

Thanks! @BEagle1984. The subscriber was just a sample and it was void, I turned that into async Task and it solved ;)

Should I keep this issue open ?

[BEagle1984]

Yes, let's keep this open. I'll fix it for the sync methods too eventually. 👍
