rabbitmq.conf consumer_timeout not working in docker

Question

I'm trying to execute a longer task with celery, so to test I made a sample task sleep for 5 minutes and set the rabbitmq.conf file with a single line containing consumer_timeout = 10000 expecting the task to fail with precondition error after 10seconds(or at least after 60 seconds as per this answer), but it never did. The task completes after 5mins. I can see the rabbitmq.conf file shows up on top of logs(which I think it means it loaded the file successfully??)

main_rabbitmq         |   Config file(s): /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf
main_rabbitmq         |                   /etc/rabbitmq/conf.d/10-default-guest-user.conf

My Dockerfile:

FROM rabbitmq:3.9.13-management

# Define environment variables.
ENV RABBITMQ_USER user
ENV RABBITMQ_PASSWORD password
ENV RABBITMQ_PID_FILE /var/lib/rabbitmq/mnesia/rabbitmq

COPY ./myrabbit.conf /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.conf

ADD init.sh /init.sh
RUN chmod +x /init.sh

# Define default command
CMD ["/init.sh"]

The init.sh file is similar to this.

Please see this repository which you can use to see the consumer timeout happen:

Note that I made some improvements to your custom entrypoint script.

I do see that the consumer_timeout setting is applied correctly. However, there is another setting that comes into play, the channel_tick_timeout which is the interval at which periodic operations happen on a channel (like checking for stale consumers). This is set to 60 seconds by default.

Without knowing how you use Celery I can't say why you're not seeing the same timeout.

Using value "attachment" for response header "Content-Disposition" will download the PDF . Instead of displaying it in new tab.

Value "inline" for response header "Content-Disposition" will open the PDF in new tab in browser.

For example:

v1

headers.add("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=PDF.pdf");

v2

headers.add(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, "inline;filename=PDF.pdf");
