redisConnection unexported ??

Was it done on purpose ? :)

Yes. You should never have to refer to it by specific type. Instead you should pass it around as rmq.Connection. That way you can actually use a rmq.TestConnection in tests without having to touch your code.

Or is there any case in which you'd actually need to refer to the specific type?

[iomatters]

The case is pretty much typical. How can I normally share the same connection across different functions?

[wellle]

As I said, just pass it as rmq.Connection. For example:

func main() {
	yourConnection := rmq.OpenConnection("your-tag", "tcp", "localhost:3456", 1)
	yourQueue := YourFunction(yourConnection)
}

func YourFunction(queueConnection rmq.Connection) rmq.Queue {
	return queueConnection.OpenQueue("your-queue")
}

Yeah, I looked it over, that's what I need, thank you!

Alright, I'll close this then 👍
