Queue's named non-deterministically

[ClayShentrup]

I'm trying to send messages from a Rails app to a Go app, so the producing side needs to know the queue name. But there's this line that uses a random string.

name := fmt.Sprintf("%s-%s", tag, uniuri.NewLen(6))

Is this just not a supported use case?

@ClayShentrup: We use random parts in connection names and consumer names so we can refer to them explicitly. This is important when handing their heartbeats and unacked messages.

Queue names however don't have any random part in them. So you should be able to build a producer in Rails.

@wellle Thanks for the quick response!

I may be confused. I'm able to consume messages that I post in Go. But if I do something like this:

queue = Redis::List.new('flycast_requests')
queue.push("some payload")

I never see it handled on the Go side.

Ah, I see that the key should be rmq::queue::[flycast_request]::ready in my case.

Still not going through. Both the services are using DB 0. Hmm...

[ClayShentrup]

OK, I'm convinced the issue is on the Ruby side. I can see the values coming in from the Go side via redis-cli. Thank you again.

You're welcome, good luck on the Ruby side 👍
