Method: Aws::SqsInterface#delete_message

Defined in:
lib/sqs/sqs_interface.rb

#delete_message(queue_url, receipt_handle) ⇒ Object

Deletes message from queue. Returns true or an exception. Amazon returns true on deletion of non-existent messages. You must use the receipt handle for a message to delete it, not the message ID.

From the SQS Developer Guide: “It is possible you will receive a message even after you have deleted it. This might happen on rare occasions if one of the servers storing a copy of the message is unavailable when you request to delete the message. The copy remains on the server and might be returned to you again on a subsequent receive request. You should create your system to be idempotent so that receiving a particular message more than once is not a problem. ”
