Introduction¶

This feature addresses the issue of retrying failed test scenarios. It implements a mechanism to automatically rerun failed scenarios to improve the stability of test results.

Changes Made¶

The following changes have been made to implement the retry functionality:

Added a before_feature hook in \features\environment.py to handle retrying failed scenarios.
Passed the overriding variable TEST_RETRY_ATTEMPTS_OVERRIDE via manage.py to the Docker environment.

How to Run¶

There are two ways to override the number of attempts for retrying failed scenarios:

1. Using `behave.ini`¶

Add the following variable to the [behave.userdata] section of the behave.ini file:

[behave.userdata]
test_retry_attempts = 2

2. Using Environment Variable¶

Pass the TEST_RETRY_ATTEMPTS_OVERRIDE variable as an environment variable while running tests or through deployment YAML files.

Example:

TEST_RETRY_ATTEMPTS_OVERRIDE=2 ./manage run -d acapy -b javascript -t @AcceptanceTest
