I have test sender:

require ‘rubygems’
require ’stomp’

client = Stomp::Client.new(”guest”, “guest”, “192.168.1.17″, 61613)
10000.times { |i| client.send ‘carl’, “Test Message number #{i}”}
client.send ‘carl’, “All Done!”

A test receiver:

require ‘rubygems’
require ’stomp’

conn = Stomp::Connection.open(’guest’, ‘guest’, ‘192.168.1.17′)
conn.subscribe(’carl’)
while true
mesg = conn.receive

puts mesg if mesg

puts mesg.body if mesg
sleep 0.0001
end

However it seems that every third batch of 10000 messages I send, the receiver (or maybe its the sender) drops the last 10-20 messages. I’ve tested this on Ubuntu and MAC OSX.

Any Idea what could cause this?

Also, when will the stomp adapter be included in the official RabbitMQ distribution? or better still will there be a native AMQP library for Ruby?

Best Regards,

The shell I usually use is bash. With regard to the crash-on-manual run, it looks like it’s failing to be able to write to /tmp. If you’re using cygwin, chances are this is because of a disconnect between the Unix mode and the Windows mode of the system. Try setting LOG_BASE to something other than /tmp.

I tried to follow your step-by-step instructions on WindowsXP, but came across several stumbling blocks. The version of rabbitmq-stomp that is currently available (rabbitmq-stomp-b01c04778288) does not seem to be compatible with the rabbitmq server any more. When the “make … run” command is issued (under cygwin bash or the dos shell), I get shell syntax errors:
$ make RABBITSOURCEROOT=../rabbitmq-200801150657 run
c:/Program Files/GNU/make -C ../rabbitmq-200801150657/erlang/rabbit run \
RABBITARGS=’-pa ‘”$(pwd)/ebin”‘ -rabbit \
stomplisteners [{\”0.0.0.0\”,61613}] \
extrastartupsteps [{\”STOMP-listeners\”,rabbitstomp,kickstart,[]}]’
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token ('
/usr/bin/sh: -c: line 1: RABBITARGS=’-pa ‘\$(pwd)/ebin\’ -rabbit \’
make: *** [start_server] Error 2

What shell should I use to execute ‘make … run’ in?

If I manually create that run command, I get runtime errors too:
$ cd ../rabbitmq-200801150657/erlang/rabbit
$ make run RABBITARGS=’-pa ./ebin -rabbit \
stomplisteners [{\”0.0.0.0\”,61613}] \
extrastartupsteps [{\”STOMP-listeners\”,rabbit_stomp,kickstart,[]}]’

output:
NODEIPADDRESS= NODEPORT= NODEONLY=true LOGBASE=/tmp RABBITARGS=”-pa ./ebin -rabbit \
stomplisteners [{\”0.0.0.0\”,61613}] \
extrastartupsteps [{\”STOMP-listeners\”,rabbitstomp,kickstart,[]}] -s rabbit” MNESIADIR=/tmp/rabbitmq-rabbit-mnesia ./scripts/rabbitmq-server

Crash dump was written to: erlcrash.dump
init terminating in doboot ()
make: *** [run] Error 1

Any ideas why trying to run the rabbitmq server with Stomp is crashing? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
