Answer 1

RabbitMQ and Integration Testing can be hard, since Rabbit MQ keeps some kind of state: - messages from previous tests in queues - listeners from previous tests still listening on queues

There are several approaches:

• Purge all queues before you start the test (that might be what you mean by cleanTestQueues())
• Delete all queues (or use temporary queues) and recreate them before each test
• Using the Rabbit Admin Rest API killing listeners or connections of previous tests
• delete the vhost and recreating the infrasture for each test (which is the most brutal way)
