SQS create_queue returns error
Reported by Jim Blomo | May 28th, 2013 @ 08:44 AM
In version 2.9.1, in file sqs/sqs.rb function
queue, there's an incorrect assumption about what
happens when creating a queue that already exists.
if create
url = @interface.create_queue(queue_name, visibility) # this returns the url even if it exists
This may have been true when SQS launched, but SQS now returns a QueueAlreadyExists error when an attempting to create a queue that already exists with different attributes (eg. a different VisibilityTimeout). http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReferenc...
I believe checking for an existing queue before attempting to create it better reflects the docstring: "If the queue does not exist at Amazon SQS and +create+ is true, the method creates it."
Attached is a patch to accomplish this.
