Testing a connection to Rabbit MQ

rabbit_mq_connection_test.rb

session = Bunny.new(
            Sneakers::CONFIG[:amqp],
            heartbeat: Sneakers::CONFIG[:heartbeat],
            vhost: Sneakers::CONFIG[:vhost])

session.connected?  # => false
session.start       # connects to rabbit
session.connected?  # => true
session.close       # closes the connection
session.connected?  # => false

# Sneakers is just a wrapper around the Bunny library so this should be ok
