Vertx event bus not communicating in single JVM - vert.x

Question

I have two verticles as below
First verticle is just listening on a address test and reply to messages
public class FirstVerticle extends AbstractVerticle {
#Override
public void start() {
Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(FirstVerticle.class);
vertx.eventBus().consumer("test",message->{
logger.info("message received " + message.headers());
message.reply("hi!!!!");
});
}
}
Second verticle just sends a message to address test
public class SecondVerticle extends AbstractVerticle {
#Override
public void start() throws Exception {
Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(SecondVerticle.class);
vertx.eventBus().request("test","hey there",handler->{
if(handler.failed())
logger.error("Failed to get data"+handler.cause());
else
logger.info("response " + handler.result().headers());
});
}
}
The two vertciles are deployed using a common main class
Vertx.clusteredVertx(new VertxOptions().setHAEnabled(true), vertx ->
vertx.result().deployVerticle(verticleName, new DeploymentOptions().setHa(true))
);
When running as a separate program and deploy the verticles in different JVM, verticles can communicate with each other using event bus, but when deploying two verticles using common class at a time is not working, getting below error
Failed to get data(TIMEOUT,-1) Timed out after waiting 30000(ms) for a reply. address:
__vertx.reply.9da86cc6-f689-47d5-a5b4-bceafbce254a, repliedAddress: test
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Vertx event bus can communicate within a JVM.
It was my mistake that I configured the event bus interceptor, but did not completed the chain by calling context.next().
