RabbitMQ Integration Test and Threading

Question

I have written a RabbitMQ consumer by implementing the MessageListener interface and setting up a SimpleMessageListenerContainer. Its working well when I test it manually. N

Answer 1

There are several approaches, the easiest being to wrap your listener and pass in a CountDownLatch which is counted down by the listener and the main test thread uses

assertTrue(latch.await(TimeUnit.SECONDS));

You can also pass back the actual message received so you can verify it is as expected.

Also see the integration test cases in the framework itself.
