ApacheCamel is not creating a queue on RabbitMQ

Question

I am following a tutorial, on using SpringBoot ApacheCamel with RabbitMQ I am at the stage, where I just want to create a queue

the code is as follows

@SpringBootApplication
@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.cav.routes"})
public class CamelApacheMicroServiceAApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(CamelApacheMicroServiceAApplication.class, args);
    }

}

@Configuration
public class CamelConfiguration {

    
    // name as rabbitConnectionFactory camel will autoimport it
    @Bean
    public ConnectionFactory rabbitConnectionFactory() {
        ConnectionFactory factory = new ConnectionFactory();
        factory.setHost("localhost");
        factory.setPort(5672);
        factory.setUsername("guest");
        factory.setPassword("guest");
        return factory;
    }
}

@Component
public class WeatherRouter extends RouteBuilder{
    
    
     public static final String RABBIT_URI = "rabbitmq:amq.direct?queue=weather&routingKey=weather&autoDelete=false";

    @Override
    public void configure() throws Exception {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        //define camel route
        //rabbitmq:exchange
        from(RABBIT_URI)
        .log(ERROR, "Got this message from RabbitMQ: ${body}");
    }

}

As I understand it the command

from("rabbitmq:amq.direct?queue=weather&routingKey=weather&autoDelete=false")

Should create a queue called weather

But when I look at my rabbitmq a queue has not been created

my pom is I am using java 17 with camel 3.7.3, which maybe the problem.

See on this webpage:

https://github.com/apache/camel-spring-boot-examples/blob/main/rabbitmq/src/main/resources/application.properties

# turn on auto declare so the exchange, queues are automatic created if not already present in rabbitmq broker
camel.component.spring-rabbitmq.auto-declare = true
