Is there way to get current attempt number when a retry happens?

[ghaisassujit]

Scenario below:

polly().handle((err) => {
// TODO: Log error.
// TODO: Log Retry Attempt number and make some decision based on it.
return true;
})
.waitAndRetry([60000, 1800000, 3600000])
.executeForPromise(() => {return this.doDownload();})

Hi, I can see that would be useful. Right now only the error is provided as the handle() is meant for deciding what errors to retry and which ones not.

I wil be happy to include a PR that adds it as a second parameter object just like is done with some other functions.

My workaround:

let retries = 0;
polly().handle((err) => {
    // TODO: Log error.
    // TODO: Log Retry Attempt number and make some decision based on it.
    retries++;
    if (retries > n) {
       // do something
    }
    return true;
})
.waitAndRetry([60000, 1800000, 3600000])
.executeForPromise(() => {return this.doDownload();})

Is the retries counter being reset before a request or after a sucesfull completion?
