Get MassTransit message retries amount

Question

I\'m using Masstransit+RabbitMQ. One of the my consumers implements retry policy and I\'m wondering if there any way to get message\'s retries amout once message is in the error

Answer 1

You can, in your consumer, use the following method to retry the retry attempt number.

consumeContext.GetRetryAttempt()

It should return > 0 if the current processing attempt is a retry.

Once the retry limit is reached, the next version of MassTransit (v6) will include a header in the error queue MT-Fault-RetryCount which will have the number of retries that were attempted. Also, Fault messages will have that same header available.
