[rabbitmq-discuss] Fwd: Problem with plugin development guide example

Hi, Jim...

Can you look in the directory Rabbit's dropping logs into (see RABBIT_LOG_BASE in the broker's startup preamble) and take a peek at the rabbit and SASL logs?  There may be a bit more information in there on what made the metronome application unhappy when it tried to start up...

Best regards,
Jerry

That was helpful - I got farther - but not there yet.

I did the checkout of the umbrella with the command above:

hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-public-umbrella -r bug23568

but I did the 'make co' without any special parameters, so I assumed
that it did hg commands with respect to the bug23568 branch.

I built the metronome project as outlined on the Rabbit site and added
the rabbit_metronome-0.0.0.ez and amqp_client.ez files to the
rabbitmq-public-umbrella/rabbitmq-server/plugins directory, but when I
start it up I get:

linus:make run
RABBITMQ_NODE_IP_ADDRESS="" RABBITMQ_NODE_PORT="5679" RABBITMQ_LOG_BASE="/tmp" RABBITMQ_MNESIA_DIR="/tmp/rabbitmq-bunny-mnesia" RABBITMQ_PLUGINS_EXPAND_DIR="/tmp/rabbitmq-bunny-plugins-scratch" \
                RABBITMQ_ALLOW_INPUT=true \
                RABBITMQ_SERVER_START_ARGS="" \

broker running
Eshell V5.6.5  (abort with ^G)
(bunny at linus)1> Erlang has closed
                                 {"Kernel pid terminated",application_controller,"{application_start_failure,rabbit_metronome,{shutdown,{rabbit_metronome,start,[normal,[]]}}}"}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
Kernel pid terminated (application_controller) ({application_start_failure,rabbit_metronome,{shutdown,{rabbit_metronome,start,[normal,[]]}}})

And as advertised it creates a big honkin' dump file.

I also had to create symbolic links so that the code would build.  In my
rabbitmq-public-umbrella/rabbit_metronome directory I created:

amqp_client -> ../rabbitmq-erlang-client/dist/amqp_client
rabbit_common -> ../rabbitmq-erlang-client/dist/rabbit_common

The server works fine if run without adding plugins, but when I add them
it bombs, so I know the plugins are the problem (Right?).

I'm new to Erlang (interesting language), so all I did was cut and paste
the example Erlang code, so if that code is out of date then it would be a problem.

Also: I changed the port to 5679 so it would not interfere with the official
installed RabbitMQ server on the same machine, and I set RABBITMQ_NODENAME
to 'bunny'.

Thanks,

- Jim

Nope. bug23274 has been abandoned. bug23568 replaces it, but is yet to
go through QA. None of the documentation regarding writing plugins has
been updated.

> If not, what is the Mercurial command to get it?

hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-public-umbrella -r bug23568

But you'll need to make sure all the plugins are also on branch bug23568
for them to work with the new build system.

If you're writing plugins from scratch, be sure to read the
rabbitmq-public-umbrella/README.makefiles file, which has a helpful
section on "Creating a new package".
