RabbitMQ configuring dynamic shovel error - 'component shovel not found'

I'm trying to configure a dynamic shovel on RabbitMQ 3.2.3 after installing the Shovel plugin. However, when I run the following command:

rabbitmqctl set_parameter shovel test-shovel '{"src-uri": "amqp://", "src-queue": "queueName", "dest-uri": "amqp://user:password@host", "dest-queue": "queueName"}'

...I get this error message:

Error: Validation failed

component shovel not found

The plugin appears to be installed correctly. If I run:

rabbitmq-plugins list

...I get:

Also, if I run:

rabbitmqctl eval 'rabbit_shovel_status:status().'

...I get:

[]
...done.

Any ideas?! Thanks in advance!

This can also occur due to a race condition in RMQ versions prior to 3.8.6. Until 3.8.6, loading static definitions could happen before plugins were activated, causing this validation error. For more information, see GitHub issue rabbitmq/rabbitmq-server#2384.

Looks like dynamic shovels were added in 3.3.0, doh! We're still on 3.2.3.
