qpid ruby client issues

[Andrea Barisani <an...@inversepath.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to report an issue with the ruby-qpid client, version 0.5. Due to
the way function arguments are treated/overrided in the driver it is
currently impossible to issue the following command:

session.exchange_declare(name, :type => 'fanout')

as the :type variable is shadowed within qpid/datatypes.rb struct method.

A quick workaround is changing the xml spec with a different name (nasty
though) and everything works.

I tried to fix the driver but the fact that it's a python port doesn't help
the rubyist in me ;), the code is hard follow and I'd rather not mess it up.

As I know ruby fairly well though I'd be happy to help the maintainer in any
way I can.

Additionally I also wonder the meaning of the following statements in
lib/qpid/spec010.rb :

# XXX: workaround for ruby bug/missfeature
Reference = Reference
Loader = Loader

This doesn't look right, it seems to me that whatever issue triggered this
fixed it can be done "properly".

Anyway thanks a *lot* to the author of this plugins as it's the only piece of
ruby software which allows us to use AMQP 0-10 :).

Cheers!

Andrea,

I've been maintaining the ruby client code though I must admit that I'm 
not a true rubyist :).  I would welcome any contributions you would like 
to make.  Please set up an account on the Jira 
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/qpid) so you can report issues and 
submit changes as code patches.  If you have questions about the 
process, please don't hesitate to ask.

Regards,

-Ted
