<div dir="ltr">We are testing unfinished messages scenario in RabbiMQ, where am running two consumers in separate command prompts, here Producer sends messages from &quot;Message1 to Message10&quot; and two consumers will consume messages in round-robin passion like &quot;Message1&quot; goes to &quot;Consumer1&quot; and &quot;Message2&quot; will go to &quot;Consumer2&quot;, etc. �To test unfinished messages what I have done is when one of the consumer [ex.Consumer2] received &quot;Message2&quot; then am not sending acknowledgement back to the server. �In this case as per the documentation other consumer[Consumer1]�has to consume message[Message2] from the server right? But, Its not happening, Consumer1 consuming remaining messages but not &quot;Message2&quot;, why?<div>
