@Retryable is not working for generic methods

[KaisNeffati]

Hello there,

We have a common generic method enabling us to perform HTTP requests. We have a problem annotating this method by @retryable

This is an example :

    @Retryable(maxAttempts = 10, backoff = @Backoff(delay = 100))
    public <T> T processCall(Call<T> call, String method) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Hello");
    }

What version are you using and what do you mean by "not working"?

[KaisNeffati]

Hello @snicoll , Thank you very much for your prompt response

Okay, so "not working" means, not doing the retry - it executes just one time

We are on the following versions:
JAVA version : 17
Spring boot : 2.5.8
Spring retry: 1.3.1

[snicoll]

Please try with 1.3.2. If that still doesn't work, we'd need a small sample we can run ourselves.

Did you add @EnableRetry to one of your @Configuration classes? That triggers the framework to look for @Retryable methods.

Other common mistake is to call a @Retryable method from within the same class; that won't work, because it bypasses the advice; retryable methods must be called from another bean.

Thank you @garyrussell I think that was the problem; Please Close this issue @snicoll

Best luck
