RabbitMQ Plugin Dependencies

Question

I'm setting up a special ubuntu vm for rabbitmq plugin development. I am working through the plugin development guide here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/plugin-development.html

The metronome plugin is working, so I wanted to get the rabbitmq_management plugin working as well.

I set up the necessary symlinks and when I run rabbitmq-plugin enable rabbitmq_management, I get the following error in the console:

 % ../scripts/rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Error: The following dependencies could not be found:
  mochiweb
  webmachine

I don't know where to put these dependencies (mochiweb, webmachine) so the rabbitmq_management (or it's dependencies) can see them.

I have tried to clone from git and make those projects directly in the rabbitmq-server/plugins directory with no luck

Answer 1

Some plugins depend on other plugins. In this case you need the mochiweb and webmachine plugins. Place them inside the broker plugins folder
