sneaker is not receiving messages on heroku - RabbitMQ Bigwig - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to run message queues on heroku. For this I am using RabbitMQ Bigwig plugin.
I am publishing messages using bunny gem and trying to receive messages with sneakers gem. This whole setup works smoothly on local machine.
I take following steps to setup queue
I run this rake on server to setup queue:
namespace :rabbitmq do
desc 'Setup routing'
task :setup_test_commands_queue do
require 'bunny'
conn = Bunny.new(ENV['SYNC_AMQP'], read_timeout: 10, heartbeat: 10)
conn.start
ch = conn.create_channel
# get or create exchange
x = ch.direct('testsync.pcc', :durable => true)
# get or create queue (note the durable setting)
queue = ch.queue('test.commands', :durable => true, :ack => true, :routing_key => 'test_cmd')
# bind queue to exchange
queue.bind(x, :routing_key => 'test_cmd')
conn.close
end
end
I am able to see this queue in rabbitmq management plugin with mentioned binding.
class TestPublisher
def self.publish(test)
x = channel.direct("testsync.pcc", :durable => true)
puts "publishing this = #{Test}"
x.publish(Test, :persistent => true, :routing_key => 'pcc_cmd')
end
def self.channel
#channel ||= connection.create_channel
end
def self.connection
#conn = Bunny.new(ENV['RABBITMQ_BIGWIG_TX_URL'], read_timeout: 10, heartbeat: 10) # getting configuration from rabbitmq.yml
#conn.start
end
end
I am calling TestPublisher.publish() to publish message.
I have sneaker worker like this:
require 'test_sync'
class TestsWorker
include Sneakers::Worker
from_queue "test.commands", env: nil
def work(raw_event)
puts "^"*100
puts raw_event
# o = CaseNote.create!(content: raw_event, creator_id: 1)
# puts "#########{o}"
test = Oj.load raw_event
test.execute
# event_params = JSON.parse(raw_event)
# SomeWiseService.build.call(event_params)
ack!
end
end
My Procfile
web: bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./config/unicorn.rb
worker: bundle exec rake jobs:work
sneaker: WORKERS=TestsWorker bundle exec rake sneakers:run
My Rakefile
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
require 'rake/dsl_definition'
require 'rake'
require 'sneakers/tasks'
Test::Application.load_tasks
My sneaker configuration
require 'sneakers'
Sneakers.configure amqp: ENV['RABBITMQ_BIGWIG_RX_URL'],
log: "log/sneakers.log",
threads: 1,
workers: 1
puts "configuring sneaker"
I am sure that message gets published. I am able to get message on rabbitmq management plugin. But sneaker does not work. There is nothing in sneakers.log that can help.
sneakers.log on heroku :
# Logfile created on 2016-04-05 14:40:59 +0530 by logger.rb/41212

Answer 1

Sorry for this late response. I was able to get this working on heroku. When I faced this error after hours of debugging I was not able to fix it. So I rewrote all above code and I did not check what was wrong with my previous code.
The only problem with this code and correct code is queue binding.
I had two queues on same exchange. pcc.commands with routing key pcc_cmd and test.commands with routing key test_cmd.
I was working with test_cmd but as per following line in TestPublisher
x.publish(Test, :persistent => true, :routing_key => 'pcc_cmd')
I was publishing to different queue(pcc.commands). Hence I was not able to recieve the message on test.commands queue.
In TestWorker
from_queue "test.commands", env: nil
This states that fetch messages only from test.commands queue.
Regarding sneakers.log file:
Above setup was not able to give me logs in sneakers.log file. Yes this setup works on your local development machine, but it was not working on heroku. Now days to debug such issue I ommit log attribute from configuration. like this:
require 'sneakers'
Sneakers.configure amqp: ENV['RABBITMQ_BIGWIG_RX_URL'],
# log: "log/sneakers.log",
threads: 1,
workers: 1
This way you will get sneaker logs (even heartbeat logs) in heroku logs which can be seen by running command heroku logs -a app_name --tail.
