Testing redriving from a DEAD to ALIVE queue results in odd counts in the ALIVE queue

These tests work ok: https://github.com/opendatacube/odc-tools/blob/develop/libs/aws/tests/test_aws.py

But what you can't do is count the number of messages on the destination queue. Doing this would make the test more meaningful.

This could be a limitation of moto. One option is trying alternative SQS mocking implementation using localstack. Since moto is an API level 🐒 monkeypatch on boto3 rather than an actual implementation of SQS.

Yeah, that's what I figure.

I'm not sure it's really worth going to too much trouble about. The tests do test the basic functionality!
