Consul service discovery plugin fails when using Erlang/OTP 24

[Enealor]

Hello! I am trying to use the consul plugin (rabbitmq_peer_discovery_consul) for cluster formation. I followed the steps at https://rabbitmq.com/cluster-formation.html#peer-discovery-consul, but I get the following error when starting the server:

2021-12-09 22:16:57.766 [error] <0.192.0> CRASH REPORT Process <0.192.0> with 0 neighbours exited with reason: call to undefined function crypto:hmac(sha512, <<21,135,13,108,158,208,40,165,61,185,76,223,138,4,217,204,82,238,158,155,125,225,178,98,187,13,...>>, [<<240,243,234,37,111,247,141,108,169,76,161,178,141,246,206,162>>,<<0,0,0,1>>], 64) in application_master:init/4 line 142

This plugin works when running erlang 1.22, but fails for erlang 1.24. I found that this function (crypto:hmac/4) is deprecated in 1.23 and removed in 1.24.

This currently stops me from using the latest version of OTP.

I will convert this issue to a GitHub discussion. Currently GitHub will automatically close and lock the issue even though your question will be transferred and responded to elsewhere. This is to let you know that we do not intend to ignore this but this is how the current GitHub conversion mechanism makes it seem for the users :(
