I am getting COMMAND_INVALID - second 'channel.open' seen errors about rabbit.js HOT 4 CLOSED

You are right, that sounds very like the breakage due to me not using util#inherits (or the like), as reported in #35, #37 and #38, and supposedly fixed in 8b431bf and released in v0.2.1.

I'll have a closer look at your code and try it out.

Just to check:

• are you using rabbit.js 0.2.1?
• does it work in, e.g., Node.JS 10.3? (that's 10-series, but before the problems in those issues)

from rabbit.js.

I'm surprised that runs as-is, since it doesn't synchronise on the context being open (emitting 'ready').
If I stitch that in, the tests appear to run OK. That's with rabbit.js v0.2.1, and Node.JS 0.10.4 and 0.10.12.

  it('should open a publish stream', function(done){

    log('open')

    bus.rabbitContext.on('ready', function() {
      bus.publish('sometestpub', function(err, stream){
        log('stream', 'publish');
        stream.should.exist;
        stream.write("TEST TEST", 'utf8');
        done()
      })
    })
  })

from rabbit.js.

This did indeed resolve my issue, that said I think the challenge here is that, and correct me if i am wrong this "ready" event is only emitted once, so I pretty much have it around the first test and then assume in the next one that the context is in a ready state. I am not entirely keen on this, but having had a look at what you have to work with I understand with this limitations.

Originally I was trying to use the connect callback, but again this only fired on the first test, so the second would time out.

Cheers for taking the time to check it over for me, your guidance is much appreciated.

Events and callbacks are almost no use for synchronisation, it is true. My adjustment was pretty crude -- just enough to delay the test run, given some assumptions (specifically that the test harness serialises tests).

I am now seeing some "send 'channel.open' seen" errors, in a different scenario. So I'm not sure it's entirely down to the problems fixed already. Stay tuned ...
