[rabbitmq-discuss] Issue deleting Queue

[Chris Nicel]

Hi Simon,

Further to my previous email, if you create a queue in the management plugin with a + symbol in, the + seems to get stripped out of the queue name. This is feeling like a bug in the management plugin. Although still curious that I can't delete it from rabbitmqadmin either. And even more curious that rabbitmqadmin claims to have deleted the node, the management plugin shows that the queue is not mirrored briefly while it is recreated on the node it was deleted from.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris. I think the "+" is likely to be a red herring; you certainly should be able to use "+" in a queue name and expect things to work.

Are there any errors in the logs referencing the name of this queue? (I should expect there probably are.)

Cheers, Simon
