ruote-amqp

• github.com/kennethkalmer/ruote-amqp
• ruote.rubyforge.org

DESCRIPTION:

ruote-amqp provides an AMQP participant/listener pair that allows you to distribute workitems out to AMQP consumers for processing.

To learn more about remote participants in ruote please see openwferu.rubyforge.org/part.html

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Flexible participant for sending workitems
• Flexible listener for receiving replies
• Fully evented (thanks to the amqp gem)

SYNOPSIS:

Please review the detailed RDOC in RuoteAMQP::Participant and Ruote::AMQP::Listener

REQUIREMENTS:

• ruote 2.0.0 or later
• amqp 0.6.1 or later
• rabbitmq 1.6.0 or later

NOTE: It might be required that you build the amqp gem yourself.

ruote 2.0.0 is currently only available to build on your own since John Mettraux is working tirelessly to ship a stable ruote 2.0. To build your own ruote 2.0.0 gem run these commands:

  $ git clone git://github.com/jmettraux/ruote.git
  $ cd ruote
  $ git checkout --track origin/ruote2.0
  $ rake gem
  $ sudo gem install pkg/ruote-2.0.0.gem

Please note that this requires Rubygems 1.3.2 or newer to work

INSTALL:

Please be sure to have read the requirements section above

• sudo gem install ruote-amqp

TESTS:

To run the tests you need the following requirements met, or the testing environment will fail horribly.

kennethkalmer-amqp

• kennethkalmer-amqp 0.6.4

It contains a one-line patch as per tmm1’s instructions in #eventmachine, which allows the reactor to be stopped and started several times in a running Ruby process.

RabbitMQ vhost

The tests use dedicated vhost on a running AMQP broker. To configure RabbitMQ you can run the following commands:

  # rabbitmqctl add_vhost /ruote-test
  # rabbitmqctl add_user ruote ruote
  # rabbitmqctl set_permissions -p /ruote-test ruote '.*' '.*' '.*'

If you need to change the AMQP configuration used by the tests, edit the +spec/spec_helper.rb+ file.

DAEMON-KIT:

Although the RuoteAMQP gem will work perfectly well with any AMQP consumer, it is recommended that you use daemon-kit to write your remote participants.

daemon-kit offers plenty of convenience for remote participants and includes a code generator for ruote remote participants.

DaemonKit doesn’t currently support ruote 2.0, support is forthcoming.
