What is amq-protocol.
amq-protocol is an AMQP 0.9.1 serialization library for Ruby. It is not an AMQP client: amq-protocol only handles serialization and deserialization. If you want to write your own AMQP client, this gem can help you with that.
How does amq-protocol relate to amqp gem, amq-client and libraries like bunny?

Installation
gem install amq-protocol
Development
Make sure you have Python and the mako templating package installed. amq-protocol uses RabbitMQ protocol code generation library that is in Python, so there is some Python involved in the build. Don't fret.
To regenerate lib/amq/protocol/client.rb
from the source (protocol.rb.pytemplate
), run
./generate.rb
To make changes, do not edit client.rb directly. Instead, edit protocol.rb.pytemplate
and regenerate.
To run tests, use
bundle install --binstubs
./bin/rspec -c spec spec
