SQSClient
SQSClient interacts with the AWS Simple Queue Service (SQS).
With it, the user can send messages to specified queues, receive messages from queues, delete processed messages, and list available queues in the current region.
SQSClient is included in both the dedicated sqs.js jslib bundle and the all-encompassing aws.js one, containing all the services clients.
Methods
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| sendMessage | Delivers a message to the specified queue. |
| sendMessageBatch | Delivers up to ten messages to the specified queue. |
| receiveMessages | Receives messages from the specified queue. |
| deleteMessage | Deletes a message from the specified queue. |
| listQueues | Returns a list of your queues in the current region. |
Throws
SQSClient methods throw errors in case of failure.
| Error | Condition |
|---|---|
InvalidSignatureError | when using invalid credentials |
SQSServiceError | when AWS replied to the requested operation with an error |
Example
JavaScript
JavaScript
import exec from 'k6/execution';
import {
AWSConfig,
SQSClient,
} from 'https://jslib.k6.io/aws/0.14.0/sqs.js';
const awsConfig = new AWSConfig({
region: __ENV.AWS_REGION,
accessKeyId: __ENV.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
secretAccessKey: __ENV.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY,
sessionToken: __ENV.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN,
});
const sqs = new SQSClient(awsConfig);
const testQueue = 'https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/000000000/test-queue';
export default async function () {
// If our test queue does not exist, abort the execution.
const queuesResponse = await sqs.listQueues();
if (queuesResponse.urls.filter((q) => q === testQueue).length == 0) {
exec.test.abort();
}
// Send message to test queue
await sqs.sendMessage(testQueue, JSON.stringify({ value: '123' }));
// Receive messages from the queue
const messages = await sqs.receiveMessages(testQueue, {
maxNumberOfMessages: 10,
waitTimeSeconds: 2,
});
// Process and delete each received message
for (const message of messages) {
console.log('Processing message:', message.body);
// Delete the message after processing
await sqs.deleteMessage(testQueue, message.receiptHandle);
}
