Hitting 'message too long' error. At what size does this occur?

[0xgeert]

Hitting message too long as defined in https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq/blob/deb56ab82f6349b9578bc8d4e15286ca53fa058f/test/test.coffee (could't find other place it's defined in code)

It this a redis imposed threshold? Do you happen to know the max size?

see this line of code: https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq/blob/deb56ab82f6349b9578bc8d4e15286ca53fa058f/index.coffee#L152

The default maxsize is 65536 chars. But you can change the configuration by setting to option maxsize. See docs https://github.com/smrchy/rsmq#createqueue

The maxsize setting is just a precaution so that a queue can not make a small Redis server run out of memory. Technically it's possible to store videos, images etc. in the queue but you might want to rethink your design and store these things in S3 or similar systems. Send a small message to RSMQ and let the worker retrieve the blob from your storage (e.g. S3).

Looks like you can't set it over maxsize as there is a check for that range. I created this to help with that for those that need it. #45

Seems like setting the maxsize to -1 does not work. I'm getting "maxsize must be between 1024 and 65536"

It seems if you have created the queue before setting maxsize, it needs to be deleted from redis and recreated with maxsize. Otherwise you still get this error. Afrer recreating, maxsize -1 works well.
