I am trying to use the rss community plugin and can't get it to startup successfully. I used the plugin tool to install and everything worked well. Put together a very simple test

The configuration is very simple  
`input { rss { interval => 100 url => "https://www.somesite.com/rss" } } output { elasticsearch { hosts => ["elastic:9200"] } stdout { codec => rubydebug } }`

When trying to use it however I get  
`[root@dbef63e345df /]# /opt/logstash/bin/logstash -f rss.conf Settings: Default filter workers: 1 Logstash startup completed A plugin had an unrecoverable error. Will restart this plugin. Plugin: <LogStash::Inputs::Rss interval=>10, url=>"https://www.law360.com/classaction/rss", codec=><LogStash::Codecs::Plain charset=>"UTF-8">> Error: undefined local variable or method 'queue' for #<LogStash::Inputs::Rss:0x5a320b90> {:level=>:error}`

Any ideas?

Thanks,  
Jaime

Looks like there is a bug already reported for this: [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-rss/issues/13](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-rss/issues/13)
