Advanced Bus Consumer Dispose and then Re-consume failing

[beartastic]

I have a button to turn the EasyNetQ Consumer on and off.

I cannot seem to get it to work.

When my code initially runs with only the FIRST StartConsumingMQ(), it works fine. I can also toggle it to turn OFF - StopConsumingMQ(). However, when I try to turn it on again (StartConsumingMQ()) - the listener doesn't seem to reactivate.

How can I make it so that I can turn the consumer on and off?

public void StartConsumingMQ(){
     _mq._consumer = _mq._abus.Consume(_mq._queue, x => x.Add<MyMessage>((message, info) => { HandleMessage(message);}));
}

public void StopConsumingMQ(){
    _mq._consumer.Dispose();
}

Could you try recreating the bus instance instead?

The issue is, I am using the bus for other things in the code. I only want
to toggle the consuming portion of it.

This is a bug correct?

I don't think it's a common use case, the Dispose() is meant to stop the consumers when stopping the entire bus instance. I'd be happy to accept a PR if you find a way to fix this!

The Dispose on a Consumer/Subscriber is meant to cancel the subscription, I don't remember if trying to re-subscribe was working in any version, but actually I'm using in production this feature, I'm not really expecting that re-subscribe works but if it would is not bad to me as well, I will check my code in these days and let you know if I understand by the code if I was expecting such a behavior you requested and if with new version we introduced a bug or not.

Experiment 2.zip

I tried to reproduce the issue, but everything works as expected: recreation of subscriptions works.

The only advice I have is to try newest version.
