You can experiment with the client from JShell. This requires Java 9 or more.
git clone https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client.git cd rabbitmq-java-client ./mvnw test-compile jshell:run ... import com.rabbitmq.client.* ConnectionFactory cf = new ConnectionFactory() Connection c = cf.newConnection() ... c.close() /exit
git clone git@github.com:rabbitmq/rabbitmq-java-client.git
cd rabbitmq-java-client
make depsRun the broker:
docker run -it --rm --name rabbitmq -p 5672:5672 rabbitmq
Launch "essential" tests (takes about 10 minutes):
./mvnw verify \
-Drabbitmqctl.bin=DOCKER:rabbitmq \
-Dit.test=ClientTestSuite,FunctionalTestSuite,ServerTestSuiteLaunch a single test:
./mvnw verify \
-Drabbitmqctl.bin=DOCKER:rabbitmq \
-Dit.test=DeadLetterExchangeThe tests can run against a local broker as well. The rabbitmqctl.bin
system property must point to the rabbitmqctl program:
./mvnw verify \
-Dtest-broker.A.nodename=rabbit@$(hostname) \
-Drabbitmqctl.bin=/path/to/rabbitmqctl \
-Dit.test=ClientTestSuite,FunctionalTestSuite,ServerTestSuiteTo launch a single test:
./mvnw verify \
-Dtest-broker.A.nodename=rabbit@$(hostname) \
-Drabbitmqctl.bin=/path/to/rabbitmqctl \
-Dit.test=DeadLetterExchangeSee Contributing and How to Run Tests.
