What is amq-protocol

amq-protocol is an AMQP 0.9.1 serialization library for Ruby. It is not an AMQP 0-9-1 client such as Bunny: amq-protocol only handles serialization and deserialization.

If you want to write your own AMQP 0-9-1 client, this gem will handle all the serialization needs for you, including RabbitMQ extensions to AMQP 0.9.1.

Supported Ruby Versions

  • amq-protocol 2.3.0 only supports Ruby 2.2+.
  • amq-protocol 2.0.0 through 2.2.0 and later supports Ruby 2.0+.
  • amq-protocol 1.9.2 was the last version to support Ruby 1.8 and 1.9.

Installation

gem install amq-protocol

Development

Make sure you have Python, pip and the mako templating package installed:

pip install mako

amq-protocol uses RabbitMQ protocol code generation library that is in Python, so there is some Python involved in the build.

To regenerate lib/amq/protocol/client.rb from the source (codegen/* files), run

./generate.rb

To make changes, do not edit client.rb directly. Instead, edit the codegen/protocol.rb.pytemplate and regenerate.

To run tests, use

bundle install --binstubs
./bin/rspec -c spec spec
