Exception of type 'RabbitMQ.Client.Exceptions.PublishException' was thrown

[plewam]

Hi All,

I am currently testing around with 7.0.0-rc.12. However (I may be doing something wrong) I am no longer able to publish messages. I received a PublishException but do not get any further information with that. The exception does not contain any further info. Are you able to help?

I use RMQ Server 4.0.2 with Erlang 26.2.5.4

RabbitMQ.Client.Exceptions.PublishException: Exception of type 'RabbitMQ.Client.Exceptions.PublishException' was thrown.
   at RabbitMQ.Client.Impl.ChannelBase.BasicPublishAsync[TProperties](String exchange, String routingKey, Boolean mandatory, TProperties basicProperties, ReadOnlyMemory`1 body, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Right... I found the issue. The below configuration causes the issue.

CreateChannelOptions channelOptions = new()
{
    PublisherConfirmationsEnabled = true,
    PublisherConfirmationTrackingEnabled = true
};

Changing it to makes it work again.

CreateChannelOptions channelOptions = new()
{
    PublisherConfirmationsEnabled = true,
    PublisherConfirmationTrackingEnabled = false
};

Hello! Thank you for the report. This is very strange, since the test suite uses this configuration all over the place:

    PublisherConfirmationsEnabled = true,
    PublisherConfirmationTrackingEnabled = true

Is the stack trace you posted the complete stack?

If you can share code to reproduce, that would be great. I'll look into this today.

[plewam]

Yes it sadly is. I even debugged it to gather more information.

[lukebakken]

Thanks, I'll get back on this today, hopefully. I really appreciate you testing the releases as they come out.

@plewam is there a chance that, in your environment, you're always getting Nacks from RabbitMQ? I realize this is unlikely.

Are you publishing with mandatory: true?

[lukebakken]

OK, you will get PublishException when mandatory: true and a message can't be routed to any queues. Does that happen to be the case?

Like I said, the test suite enables confirms and confirm tracking all over the place so I think this particular issue has something to do with your environment...?

[plewam]

I will have it checked shortly, give me a few days. If that is the case a publish exception is the right thing to do inside the library.

thanks for your help!

[lukebakken]

OK, thank you again for testing!

[plewam]

So I tested it again. Your library behaves correctly. I had the mandatory flag set and no queue bound to my destination exchange. Therefore it is correct to throw the PublishException. Thanks again for your help and assistance.

Thanks for the follow-up! I'm happy to assist, anytime.
