Retry mechanism in karate testing framework

Question

Retry mechanism in karate testing framework How to retry tests on failure in karate testing framework like Junit and TestNG. something like public class Retry implements IRetryAnalyzer {

private int count = 0;
private static int maxTry = 3;

@Override
public boolean retry(ITestResult iTestResult) {
    if (!iTestResult.isSuccess()) {                      //Check if test not succeed
        if (count < maxTry) {                            //Check if maxtry count is reached
            count++;                                     //Increase the maxTry count by 1
            iTestResult.setStatus(ITestResult.FAILURE);  //Mark test as failed
            return true;                                 //Tells TestNG to re-run the test
        } else {
            iTestResult.setStatus(ITestResult.FAILURE);  //If maxCount reached,test marked as failed
        }
    } else {
        iTestResult.setStatus(ITestResult.SUCCESS);      //If test passes, TestNG marks it as passed
    }
    return false;
}

}

yeah just did that , do we have any thing for retry ? – Rahul R Mar 21 '18 at 21:44 — Rahul R, Mar 21 '18 at 21:44

It works for me on version 0.9.5.RC5 . But, maybe this is one of the before-mentioned "workarounds"?

All you do is something like this, which defaults to 3 attempts:

* retry until responseStatus == 404
When method get

`retry until` is not a "workaround" it is a legitimate feature introduced in v0.9.0 :P https://github.com/intuit/karate/releases/tag/v0.9.0 – Peter Thomas Dec 27 '19 at 18:08
I said "workaround" due to your previous comment where you linked to a page showing the 'retry' example and in your comment you said it was 'one of the workarounds' on that polling example page. – djangofan Dec 27 '19 at 19:26
that comment is almost 2 years old. not a "workaround" any more. pardon me for setting the record straight :) – Peter Thomas Dec 28 '19 at 01:50

As of now this is an open feature request: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/247

But there are multiple work arounds. You may get some ideas if you look at the polling example: https://github.com/intuit/karate/blob/master/karate-demo/src/test/java/demo/polling/polling.feature
