Cannot subscribe to existing queue with no configure permission

[JOravas]

RabbitMQ version 3.8.11
Bunny 2.17.0

Preconditions:

• a permanent queue has been created in RabbitMQ outside of Bunny
• there is specific user for this queue that has only read/write access (no configure)

I cannot subscribe to this existing named queue from Bunny as there is ACCESS_REFUSED exception.

In RabbitMQ log:

operation queue.declare caused a channel exception access_refused.

If your code involves declaring a queue — and Bunny::Channel#queue does just that — the user must have a configure permission on the target queue.

You can do a passive declare (pass passive: true to Bunny::Channel#queue) or use Bunny::Channel#basic_consume directly without all the DSL-y sugar.

Thanks @michaelklishin. Code currently calls method Channel#queue and the documentation didn't have option passive listed for it: http://reference.rubybunny.info/Bunny/Channel.html. I didn't either notice that for queue_declare it is there and thus should have tried it. Problem solved with passive declare.

I will convert this issue to a GitHub discussion. Currently GitHub will automatically close and lock the issue even though your question will be transferred and responded to elsewhere. This is to let you know that we do not intend to ignore this but this is how the current GitHub conversion mechanism makes it seem for the users :(
