New to Azure and testing Azure Queues . I attempted sending a message to the Queue with the Python SDK . Here is the method that I'm calling
from azure.storage.queue import QueueServiceClient, QueueClient, QueueMessage
connectionstring=os.environ.get("connection_string")
queue_client = QueueClient.from_connection_string(connectionstring,queue_name)
msg_content={"MessageID":"AQ2","MessageContext":"This is a test Message"}
#set the visibility timeout to 10 seconds and time-to-live to 1 day (3600 minutes)
#The documentation seems to say its an integer . Is it day , minutes ,hours ,seconds ?
queue_client.send_message(msg_content,visibility_timeout=10,time_to_live=3600)
and the output I get as a response from the queue is
{'id': '90208a43-15d9-461e-a0ba-b12e02624d34',
'inserted_on': datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 9, 12, 17, 57, tzinfo=<FixedOffset 0.0>),
'expires_on': datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 9, 13, 17, 57, tzinfo=<FixedOffset 0.0>),
'dequeue_count': None,
'content': {'MessageID': 'AQ2',
'MessageContext': 'This is a test Message'},
'pop_receipt': '<hidingthistoavoidanydisclosures>',
'next_visible_on': datetime.datetime(2020, 6, 9, 12, 18, 7, tzinfo=<FixedOffset 0.0>)}
Now if you observe the expires_on its clearly an hour from the insert date which is fine . But for some reason the message instantly moved to the poison queue ( which should normally happen after an hour if the message is untouched . I don't get where I'm going wrong . Request help on how to set the expiry time right and why its instantly moving the message to poison queue
The time to live is in seconds. Here's the doc for queue send message
