Can't Delete Storage Queue Message

[yovelcohen]

• Package Name: azure-storage-queue
• Package Version: 12.12.0
• Operating System: MacOs/Ubuntu
• Python Version: 3.12

Sometimes My app produces repeating messages for entities in the system that were already processed.
The app filters those messages with an internal logic and than tries to delete the message from the queue if the Job is already done for the given entity.

My logic looks something like this:

MSG_TO = 60 * 10

queue_client: QueueClient = await get_or_create_queue_client(settings.FINALIZE_TRANSCRIPTION_QUEUE_NAME)  # noqa
if message := await queue_client.receive_message(visibility_timeout=MSG_TO):
    if await should_run_job(message):
        await run_job(message)
    else:
	queue_client.delete_message(message)

When I try to delete the message, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/app/app/job.py", line 141, in _safe_del_msg
    await queue_client.delete_message(msg)
  File "/app/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/azure/core/tracing/decorator_async.py", line 119, in wrapper_use_tracer
    return await func(*args, **kwargs)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/app/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/azure/storage/queue/aio/_queue_client_async.py", line 981, in delete_message
    raise ValueError("pop_receipt must be present")
ValueError: pop_receipt must be present

Now, according to the docs, I should be able to just delete the message, because when I use the receive_message method, it should assign a pop_receipt to it.
yet, it's none and than the message just keeping coming back to the queue, waking up the service and

Hi @yovelcohen, I'm an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the Azure SDK team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.

• The error indicates that delete_message is expecting a valid pop_receipt in the message. In the Azure Storage Queue SDK, delete_message requires that the message includes a pop_receipt, which is only available on messages received via receive_message (and not on peeked messages).
• Verify that the message returned from receive_message indeed has a pop_receipt populated at the time of deletion. You might want to inspect or log the message to ensure it wasn’t modified between receipt and deletion.
• As noted in the Azure SDK internals, the delete_message implementation checks for the pop_receipt before making the delete request azure-core README. Make sure that the message instance passed to delete_message hasn’t lost its pop_receipt by any timing or state issue.
• Confirm that the visibility_timeout duration has not expired or the message hasn’t been updated by another operation that might clear the pop_receipt.

The Azure SDK team will respond to your issue shortly. I hope these suggestions are helpful in the meantime. If this comment helped you, please give it a 👍. If the suggestion was not helpful or incorrect, please give it a 👎. Your feedback helps us improve!
