Custom Error Queue Name when using EasyNetQ for RabbitMQ?

Question

Rather than having my unhandled exceptions go into EasyNetQ_Default_Error_Queue I wondered if there is a way that I can explicitly state the name of an Error Queue that should be used for a given application, so errors don't ALL end up in this one EasyNetQ_Default_Error_Queue?

I can see how to specify regular message queue names but haven't managed to find anything about Error Queue names.

Yes, you can customize the naming conventions by overriding the delegates on the IConventions object (or just create your own implementation of it and register that as a dependency):

https://github.com/EasyNetQ/EasyNetQ/blob/master/Source/EasyNetQ.Tests/ConventionsTests.cs

This should probably work:

var bus = RabbitHutch.CreateBus("host=localhost");
bus.Advanced.Container.Resolve<IConventions>().ErrorExchangeNamingConvention = info => "MyExchangeNaming";
bus.Advanced.Container.Resolve<IConventions>().ErrorQueueNamingConvention = () => "MyErrorQueueNaming";
