Error queues - What's the best way to get them to retry?

[Mike Hadlow]

If a consumer throws while processing a message, the message gets
placed in the <endoint name>_error queue. What's the recommended way
of getting the message retried?

I know that NServiceBus has a command line untility that moves
messages from the error queue back to the main queue, is there
anything similar in MassTransit, or do we need to write such a thing
ourselves?

Thanks
Mike

I checked out BusDriver, it certainly works for the simple case of
copying messages from one queue to another, Here's an example command
for anyone who's interested:

$ move -from "msmq://localhost/mt_mike_subscriber_error" -to "msmq://
localhost/mt_mike_subscriber"

I had to fix a few things to get it to compile, just uploaded the
patch:

Thanks Mike, I hadn't had a chance to update it since I tweaked some of the Magnum stuff.

I plan to add some more features to it soon, such as previewing message bodies and stuff before moving and making it possible to navigate an endpoint in a style similar to google reader (j/k for prev/next, etc.). Why? Because the keyboard rocks.

Mike thanks for the example above. I just had a chance to build and
try out BusDriver and it worked well for my needs. When I get a chance
I'll "enhance" it to accept one off command line commands suitable for
batch file usage.

Uploaded a patch to BusDriver which adds support for sending in
commands via the initial application command line. Kinda hacky in that
if your BusDriver command requires a quote you need to escape it.

Not sure why the command line parser requires quotes around parameters
that don't have spaces in them. If there is interest I can look at it?
What is this MonadicCommandLine parser thingy :)
