Problems using the #ssut/nestjs-sqs npm library - node.js

Question

I'm trying to use the #ssut/nestjs-sqs library to communicate to AWS SQS queues from a Node/NestJS application. I'm new to NestJS and using AWS SQS queues. I can consume messages, but I can't send them. I've got an AppService pretty much identical to the example in the repository READEM, but it keeps failing:
export class AppService {
public constructor(private readonly sqsService: SqsService) {}
getHello(): string {
return 'Hello World YouTube';
}
public async sendMessage(message) {
const id = String(Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000));
await this.sqsService.send(TestQueue.Test, {
id,
body: { test: true },
groupId: 'test',
deduplicationId: id,
delaySeconds: 0,
});
}
}
When I run the app and try to send a message (through a POST call also handled by this app) I get these messages:

How can I resolve this error?

Answer 1

I resolved this myself by debugging into the send message code and getting the AWS error code. The problem is the example code shown for the ssut#nestjs-sqs module to send a message is for an FIFO queue. If you're using a standard queue the queueuId and deduplicationId values in the message will cause the error. Remove those and it worked fine.
