Getting a MalformedQueryString exception when creating an SQS standard queue

I am trying to create an AWS SQS standard queue locally with localstack and using ruby's aws-sdk-sqs library. I am running into an error when passing in parameters into the RedrivePolicy attribute. I believe I am using the API documentation correctly as described here.

I did some research and it seems that the parameters passed into the RedrivePolicy attribute should be JSON-formatted but I could be wrong.

This is my code:

c = Aws::SQS::Client.new
c.create_queue(queue_name: "my_queue", attributes: {"RedrivePolicy" => "{\"maxReceiveCount\":\"5\"}"})

And this is what I'm getting:

Aws::SQS::Errors::MalformedQueryString (MalformedQueryString; see the SQS docs.)

Thanks in advance.

To specify a RedrivePolicy you also have to give it a deadLetterTargetArn where it will put the failed messages.

So you'd need to create that queue first, then pass it's Arn along to the second call:

c.create_queue(queue_name: "my_queue", 
   attributes: {"RedrivePolicy" => "{\"maxReceiveCount\":\"5\",
                                     \"deadLetterTargetArn\": \" #{deadLetterArn}\"}"})
