I am trying to get my program that uses Pika to constantly reconnect to RabbitMQ on failure. From what I saw in the Pika docs, there is a SimpleReconnectionStrategy class that can be used to escort, but it doesn't seem to work very well.
strategy = pika.SimpleReconnectionStrategy()
parameters = pika.ConnectionParameters(server)
self.connection = pika.AsyncoreConnection(parameters, True, strategy)
self.channel = self.connection.channel()
The connection should wait_for_openand configure the reconnection strategy.
However, when I run this, I get the following errors:
error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <pika.asyncore_adapter.RabbitDispatcher at 0xb6ba040c> (<class 'socket.error'>:[Errno 111] Connection refused [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|read|79] [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|435] [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_connect_event|443])
error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <pika.asyncore_adapter.RabbitDispatcher at 0xb6ba060c> (<class 'socket.error'>:[Errno 111] Connection refused [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|read|79] [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|435] [/usr/lib/python2.7/asyncore.py|handle_connect_event|443])
These errors are constantly thrown while Pika is trying to connect. If I start the RabbitMQ server while my client is running, it will connect. I just don't like these mistakes ... Are they normal? Am I doing it wrong?
