Add Retry for failed tests only

[assapir]

Is it possible somehow?

[CharliePoole]

NUnit includes a RetryAttribute for tests that should be retried up to a maximum number of times if they fail. Please review the documentation.

This is working only for tests without parameters. Is there any why to pass a parameters when we are using retry?

[CharliePoole]

If it isn't working for a particular use case we can reopen this issue. Please provide an example.

[assapir]

This is the documentation on https://github.com/nunit/docs/wiki/Retry-Attribute :
"Since a parameterized test method represents a suite, RetryAttribute is ignored when it appears on such a method."

@meijin007 Thanks for reminding me of that restriction, which I had forgotten. I'll reopen this and take a closer look.

[CharliePoole]

The documentation statement was a hold-over from NUnit 2 and is not correct. I have added a test to verify that Retry works on Test Cases. Note that the retry applies to each test case when used this way.

Hi @CharliePoole , I am facing a problem with Retry Attribute. NUnit is retaining the previous Failed value in
TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Outcome and hence my Test Case is Failed even if it is actually Passed in the second attempt. Please see the below code snippet, my code goes inside the First if loop because currentContext.Result.Outcome value is "Failed" in the second attempt as well in the TearDown method(although my Test gets passed during the second attempt):

[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
try
{
var currentContext = TestContext.CurrentContext;
var message = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.Message;
var stackTrace = TestContext.CurrentContext.Result.StackTrace;
if (currentContext.Result.Outcome != ResultState.Success)
{
var testName = currentContext.Test.Name;
string rootPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
String filename = rootPath+"\Report\" + this.GetType().FullName + "." + testName + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss") + ".png";
Console.WriteLine("filename: " + filename);
UtilityHelper.TakeScreenshot(_driver, filename);
if (Global.tempCount <= 1)
Global.test.Log(Status.Fail, stackTrace + message);
}
Log.Info("Teardown test");
_driver.Quit();
}
catch { _driver.Dispose(); }
}

@ammark1 This specific issue was fixed and has been closed for a while. If you have a new problem, it's best to file a new issue.

Hi ,

By using Retry functionality, is it possible to rerun all failed tests at the end instead of immediately after the failed test?

Not currently, no.
