RabbitMQ's AMQP 1.0 support differs by version: RabbitMQ 4.0+ has native AMQP 1.0 support, while RabbitMQ 3.x requires the AMQP 1.0 plugin. This PR adds comprehensive documentation differentiating between the versions and test infrastructure to validate generated code against ActiveMQ Artemis and both RabbitMQ versions.

Documentation

  • New: docs/rabbitmq_amqp_setup.md - Comprehensive setup guide with:
    • Version-specific sections for RabbitMQ 4.0+ (native) and 3.x (plugin)
    • Plugin installation instructions for RabbitMQ 3.x (Docker/K8s/local)
    • Connection configuration per language
    • AMQP 0.9.1 vs 1.0 differences
    • Production patterns with version-specific HA cluster examples
  • Updated: Main README and all AMQP template READMEs to clarify broker compatibility, listing RabbitMQ 4.0+ and 3.x as separate entries

Integration Tests

Tests now run automatically against all three broker types using distinct fixtures:

C# Tests

  • Created separate fixtures: ArtemisFixture, RabbitMq3Fixture, RabbitMq4Fixture
  • Each fixture has its own xUnit collection definition
  • Tests automatically run against all three brokers in parallel collections
  • Producer and consumer tests both use this pattern

Test Structure:

[Collection("Artemis")]         // Tests with ArtemisFixture
[Collection("RabbitMQ 3")]      // Tests with RabbitMq3Fixture  
[Collection("RabbitMQ 4")]      // Tests with RabbitMq4Fixture

Java and Python Tests (Legacy Environment Variable Support)

  • AMQP_BROKER: Choose broker (default: artemis, options: artemis, rabbitmq)
  • RABBITMQ_VERSION: Choose RabbitMQ version when using RabbitMQ (default: 4, options: 3, 4)
  • Tests dynamically create containers based on environment variables
  • RabbitMQ 3.x containers automatically enable rabbitmq_amqp1_0 plugin

CI Integration

  • Added test-java-rabbitmq workflow job running AMQP tests against RabbitMQ

Benefits:

  • C# tests automatically validate compatibility with all three brokers
  • No manual test execution required for multiple broker types
  • Each broker runs in isolated test collections
  • Improved test coverage and confidence in multi-broker compatibility

All changes maintain backward compatibility - existing Java/Python tests run against Artemis by default.

<issue_description>Instead of special-casing RabbitMQ's AMQP version, we'll document how to use RabbitMQ with its AMQP 1.0 plugin and also add an integration run in addition to the runs we have for ActiveMQ Artemis.</issue_description>

@copilot you need to differentiate between RabbitMQ 4.0 and prior versions.

@copilot you need to differentiate between RabbitMQ 4.0 and prior versions.

Updated to differentiate between RabbitMQ 4.0+ (native AMQP 1.0 support) and RabbitMQ 3.x (plugin required). Changes include:

  • Documentation now has separate sections for each version with version-specific Docker/K8s examples
  • Test templates support RABBITMQ_VERSION env var (default: "4") to test against either version
  • README clarifies RabbitMQ 4.0+ has native support while 3.x requires plugin

@copilot we should create distinct fixtures for artemis and rabbit 3 and rabbit 4 and run the test once with each

Updated C# consumer tests to use distinct fixtures (ArtemisFixture, RabbitMq3Fixture, RabbitMq4Fixture) with separate test classes for each broker. Tests now run automatically against all three brokers. Working on completing the producer tests and other language templates with the same pattern.

@copilot rebase

The branch is currently up-to-date with its remote tracking branch. However, I'm unable to perform git rebase operations directly as they require interactive git commands. If you need the branch rebased onto a different base, you'll need to perform the rebase manually or provide specific instructions on what needs to be rebased and onto which branch.

- Fix logger initialization in RabbitMQ 3 and 4 test sections (CreateLogger instead of GetLoggerFactory)
- Fix fixture property reference (BrokerUrl instead of ArtemisBrokerUrl)
- Add URI template parameter extraction and passing to Send*Async methods in RabbitMQ tests
- Align RabbitMQ test parameter handling with Artemis test pattern

Resolves compilation errors in generated C# AMQP producer tests where URI
template parameters from message metadata were not being passed to producer
method calls.

- Fix brokerXml visibility: Change from private to protected in both producer and consumer templates to allow derived fixture classes (ArtemisFixture, RabbitMq3Fixture, RabbitMq4Fixture) to access the broker configuration XML.

- Fix async lambda expressions: Add async keyword to all dispatcher event handler lambdas in consumer template (Artemis, RabbitMQ 3.x, and RabbitMQ 4.0+ test sections) and add explicit 'await Task.CompletedTask' returns to satisfy Func<..., Task> signature requirements.

- Fix fixture property reference: Change ArtemisBrokerUrl to BrokerUrl in consumer template Artemis test section to match the actual property name defined in AmqpBrokerFixture base class.

- Fix byte array initialization: Add conditional logic in consumer template RabbitMQ test sections to properly initialize byte[] message types using Array.Empty<byte>() instead of invalid 'new byte[]()' syntax. Non-byte-array types continue to use their parameterless constructors with ToByteArray() serialization.

These fixes resolve all 54 compilation errors in the AMQP consumer template and the brokerXml accessibility error in the producer template, enabling successful C# code generation from both templates.

Add conditional handling for byte[] message types in RabbitMQ 3 and 4 test
sections to use Array.Empty<byte>() instead of invalid 'new byte[]()' syntax.

Resolves CS1586 compilation errors for array creation without size or initializer.
