Bernard OpenCloud Driver

This driver implements the Queues part of Rackspace or other OpenStack-based cloud providers, using php-opencloud. It supports prefetching messages, which reduces the number of HTTP requests. It also supports passing a list of known queues to the constructor. Passing known queue names saves an HTTP request to the provider.

For full details on using Bernard see the documentation.

For full information on Opencloud Queues, refer to the php-opencloud documentation.

Important

You need to create an account with your provider, consisting of a username and API key, along with the region ('ORD', 'LON', etc).

Important

When using prefetching, the TTL value for each message should be greater than the time it takes to consume all of the fetched messages. If one message takes 10 seconds to consume and the driver is prefetching 5 messages the TTL must be greater than 50 seconds.

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require bernard/OpenCloud

Note that the current version of php-opencloud has a dependency on Guzzle 3. This will cause a warning when installing.

Version 2 of php-opencloud is in the works and uses a supported version of Guzzle. This driver will be updated to use it once it is stable.

Quickstart

use Bernard\Driver\OpenCloudDriver;
use OpenCloud\Rackspace;

$client = new Rackspace(Rackspace::US_IDENTITY_ENDPOINT, array(
  'username' => '{username}',
  'apiKey'   => '{apiKey}',
));

$service = $client->queuesService('cloudQueues', 'ORD');

// you _must_ call `setClientId()` - if empty a UUID will be automatically generated
$service->setClientId();

$driver = new OpenCloudDriver($service);

// or, passing a known queue name
$driver = new OpenCloudDriver($service, ['my-queue']);

// or, using prefetching...
$driver = new OpenCloudDriver($service, [], 10);

// or, using prefetching and specifying a one hour TTL for messages that will be created / claimed
$driver = new OpenCloudDriver($service, [], null, 3600);

Tests

The default unit tests will mock the responses from the API.

To test against a real provider you will need to copy phpunit.xml.dist to phpunit.xml and edit it, adding your credentials. Then run the "integration" group:

./vendor/bin/phpunit --group integarion

You can capture the requests and responses sent to the provider by setting the DEBUG_API_REQUESTS environment variable in phpunit.xml. This is particularly useful when generating mock responses for other tests.
