I'm reading messages from RabbitMQ queue like this:
messages, err := channel.Consume(
queue, // queue
queue, // consumer - same as queue
false, // auto-ack
false, // exclusive
false, // no-local
false, // no-wait
nil) // args
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
loop:
for {
select {
case cmd := <-cmdChannel:
if cmd == cmdStop {
break loop
}
case message := <-messages:
go process(message)
}
}
There could be situations when reading from messages
fail, like network error, or RabbitMQ's channel was invalidated due to an error. How to detect such errors and get relevant error message?
Assuming that you are using streadway/amqp
, this is probably what you are looking for https://godoc.org/github.com/streadway/amqp#Channel.NotifyClose
func (*Channel) NotifyClose
func (ch *Channel) NotifyClose(c chan *Error) chan *Error
NotifyClose registers a listener for when the server sends a channel or connection exception in the form of a Connection.Close or Channel.Close method. Connection exceptions will be broadcast to all open channels and all channels will be closed, where channel exceptions will only be broadcast to listeners to this channel.
The chan provided will be closed when the Channel is closed and on a graceful close, no error will be sent.
