NAME

Test::Net::RabbitMQ - A mock RabbitMQ implementation for use when
testing.

VERSION

version 0.12

SYNOPSIS

    use Test::Net::RabbitMQ;

    my $mq = Test::Net::RabbitMQ->new;

    $mq->connect;

    $mq->channel_open(1);

    $mq->exchange_declare(1, 'order');
    $mq->queue_declare(1, 'new-orders');

    $mq->queue_bind(1, 'new-orders', 'order', 'order.new');

    $mq->publish(1, 'order.new', 'hello!', { exchange => 'order' });

    $mq->consume(1, 'new-orders');

    my $msg = $mq->recv;

    # Or

    my $msg = $mq->get(1, 'order.new', {});

DESCRIPTION

Test::Net::RabbitMQ is a terrible approximation of using the real
thing, but hopefully will allow you to test systems that use
Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ or Net::RabbitMQ without having to use an actual
RabbitMQ instance.

The general overview is that calls to publish pushes a message into one
or more queues (or none if there are no bindings) and calls to recv pop
them.

CAVEATS

This module has all the features I've needed to successfully test our
RabbitMQ-using application. Patches are welcome if I'm missing
something you need! At the moment there are a number of shortcomings:

recv doesn't block

exchanges are all topic

lots of other stuff!

ATTRIBUTES

connectable

If false then any calls to connect will die to emulate a failed
connection.

debug

If set to true (which you can do at any time) then a message will be
emitted to STDERR any time a message is added to a queue.

METHODS

channel_close($number)

Closes the specific channel.

channel_open($number)

Opens a channel with the specific number.

connect

Connects this instance. Does nothing except set connected to true. Will
throw an exception if you've set connectable to false.

consume($channel, $queue)

Sets the queue that will be popped when recv is called.

cancel($channel, $consumer_tag)

Cancels the subscription for the given consumer tag. Calls to recv
after this will throw an error unless you call consume again. This
method always returns true if there is a subscription to cancel, false
otherwise.

disconnect

Disconnects this instance by setting connected to false.

exchange_declare($channel, $exchange, $options)

Creates an exchange of the specified name.

exchange_delete($channel, $exchange, $options)

Deletes an exchange of the specified name.

tx_select($channel)

Begins a transaction on the specified channel. From this point forward
all publish() calls on the channel will be buffered until a call to
"tx_commit" or "tx_rollback" is made.

tx_commit($channel)

Commits a transaction on the specified channel, causing all buffered
publish() calls to this point to be published.

tx_rollback($channel)

Rolls the transaction back, causing all buffered publish() calls to be
wiped.

get ($channel, $queue, $options)

Get a message from the queue, if there is one.

Like Net::RabbitMQ, this will return a hash containing the following
information:

     {
       body => 'Magic Transient Payload', # the reconstructed body
       routing_key => 'nr_test_q',        # route the message took
       exchange => 'nr_test_x',           # exchange used
       delivery_tag => 1,                 # (inc'd every recv or get)
       redelivered => 0,                  # always 0
       message_count => 0,                # always 0
     }

queue_bind($channel, $queue, $exchange, $routing_key)

Binds the specified queue to the specified exchange using the provided
routing key. Note that, at the moment, this doesn't work with AMQP
wildcards. Only with exact matches of the routing key.

queue_declare($channel, $queue, $options)

Creates a queue of the specified name.

queue_delete($channel, $queue, $options)

Deletes a queue of the specified name.

queue_unbind($channel, $queue, $exchange, $routing_key)

Unbinds the specified routing key from the provided queue and exchange.

publish($channel, $routing_key, $body, $options)

Publishes the specified body with the supplied routing key. If there is
a binding that matches then the message will be added to the
appropriate queue(s).

recv

Provided you've called consume then calls to recv will pop the next
message of the queue. Note that this method does not block.

Like Net::RabbitMQ, this will return a hash containing the following
information:

     {
       body => 'Magic Transient Payload', # the reconstructed body
       routing_key => 'nr_test_q',        # route the message took
       exchange => 'nr_test_x',           # exchange used
       delivery_tag => 1,                 # (inc'd every recv or get)
       redelivered => $boolean            # if message is redelivered
       consumer_tag => '',                # Always blank currently
       props => $props,                   # hashref sent in
     }
