Unexpected message handler failure: done is not a function

[geremyCohen]

When running this snippet:

const app = Consumer.create({
  queueUrl: SQS_QUEUE_URL,
  region: 'us-east-1',
  batchSize: 10,
  handleMessage: function (message, done) {

    console.log(done);
    console.log(message);// do some work with `message`
    done();
  }
});

I can console.log the message, however I get the error:

Unexpected message handler failure: done is not a function

I am running on Ubuntu 18.04, node 10.16.3.

Any ideas?

@geremyCohen - What version of the sqs-consumer are you using? Callback support was dropped from version 4.x.x onwards.

[geremyCohen]

I am using 5.3.0. I tried using the boilerplate from the home page:

const app = Consumer.create({
  queueUrl: 'https://sqs.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/account-id/queue-name',
  handleMessage: async (message) => {
    // do some work with `message`
  }
});

And the messages arrive intermittently (vs my vanilla AWS SDK-based prototype.)

In the docs, it says "Messages are deleted from the queue once the handler function has completed successfully." but I wasn't clear on what I had to do in the handler to signal a "success" (if anything).

So how do you manage retries in the newer versions?

On previous versions you could run "done(err)" and this will not delete the message from the queue.

Unable to replicate this issue. Closing due to inactively. If you wish to continue this discussion, we can re-open.

I'm having the same doubt, how can I signal the success or failure in the handler function?
