nestjs-rabbitmq Node.js package not handling messages - node.js

Question

Maybe I am missing a basic thing as I am starting out with Nestjs, but somehow I can't get Nest.js to receive messages in a Pub/Sub pattern using: https://github.com/golevelup/nestjs. I create the Messaging Service like so:
#Module({
imports: [
RabbitMQModule.forRoot(RabbitMQModule, {
exchanges: [
{
name: 'tx-nextor',
type: 'topic',
},
],
uri: RABBIT_URI,
channels: {
'channel-1': {
prefetchCount: 15,
default: true,
},
},
}),
MessagingModule,
],
providers: [],
controllers: [],
})
export class MessagingModule {}
Everything is connecting correctly and I can see the connection and channel in the RabbitMQ admin. After I created a subscriber:
#Injectable()
export class ResourceService {
#RabbitSubscribe({
exchange: 'tx-nextor',
routingKey: 'resource.*',
queue: 'resource-history-resource.*.updated',
})
public async updatedHandler(msg: {}, amqpMsg: ConsumeMessage) {
console.log('Subscribe handler ran');
console.log(JSON.stringify(msg));
console.log(`Correlation id: ${amqpMsg.properties.correlationId}`);
return 'test';
}
}
This also connects:

But after I do this nothing is logged.
Although the consumer is connected, all testmessages are staying on the queue:

Adding RabbitMQModule to the exports in the Module definition solved the issue for me.
Reference: Problems with RabbitMQ and NestJS. I can't publish a message with nestjs-rabbitmq and NestJS
#Module({
imports: [
RabbitMQModule.forRoot(RabbitMQModule, {
exchanges: [
{
name: 'tx-nextor',
type: 'topic',
},
],
uri: RABBIT_URI,
channels: {
'channel-1': {
prefetchCount: 15,
default: true,
},
},
}),
MessagingModule,
],
providers: [],
controllers: [],
exports: [RabbitMQModule],
})
export class MessagingModule {}
Also, in the RabbitMQ Admin, make sure the payload has "" in the value, so it would be "test" vs test (sending JSON also should work)
Hope this helps!
