Gotcha, so the index value of 100 is not a non-standard value.
So I'm seeing "invalid wire type" when using the decode method of
protobuf.js of an AMQ body. This is in a Node using the protobuf.js,
stomp-client.js and an AMQ broker.
The GPB that I'm using has a basic format of this:
syntax = "proto2";
package testt;
message Monkey
{
optional string timestamp = 1;
}
message TestResponse
{
optional Monkey header = 100;
optional string mykey = 2;
optional string myvalue = 3;
}
And the message is encoded and sent to the broker like this:
// note TestRespGPBDef is created earlier
let payload = {
header: {
timestamp: 'monkeybutt'
},
mykey: 'hi',
myvalue: 'there'
};
let verifyErr = TestRespGPBDef.verify(payload);
if( verifyErr ) {
console.log(`GPB OBJECT/PAYLOAD ERROR`, {verifyErr});
return;
}
let gmsg = TestRespGPBDef.create(payload);
let buff = TestRespGPBDef.encode(gmsg).finish();
let str = buff.toString();
stompClient.publish('mytopic',str);
And the message is rd'x and decoded by the consumer like this:
// note TestRespGPBDef is created earlier
client.subscribe('mytopic', function(body, headers) {
utils.printObj(`CONSUMER << RXD AMQ header and body`);
utils.printObj(`AMQ body\n [${body.length}] elements`, body);
let binArray = utils.stringToBinArray(body);
utils.printObj(`As binArray`,binArray);
try {
let gpbMsg = TestRespGPBDef.decode(binArray);
utils.printObj('',gpbMsg);
} catch (decodeExc) {
console.log(`Could not decode msg`,{decodeExc});
}
});
When the consumer receives the body from AMQ and tries to decode it, this
is the exception:
CONSUMER << RXD AMQ header and body
AMQ body:
[26] elements (typeof [string]):
['\u0012\u0002hi\u001a\u0005there�\u0006\f\n\nmonkeybutt']
As binArray (typeof [object]): [[
18, 2, 104,
105, 26, 5,
116, 104, 101,
114, 101, 65533,
6, 12, 10,
10, 109, 111,
110, 107, 101,
121, 98, 117,
116, 116, [length]: 26
]]

}
When the "header" index is set to 1, and the experiment is repeated, the
decoding does not throw the exception.
