how can I purge a MassTransit queue?

Question

I'd like to delete all the messages from a queue in my integration test SetUp routine, how can I accomplish that? No luck with googling/intellisense-bruteforce.

If it matters -- I'm using RabbitMq as transport.

Answer 1

There's no way to "delete" from queues within MassTransit. For tests you can use temporary, random queue URIs via rabbitmq://localhost/*?temporary=true. Or you can just append ?temporary=true to the end of your existing queue URIs to have MT clean stuff up afterward. Note: Current, as of 2.8, temporary exchanges aren't cleaned up. This should be fixed by the next release.
