NUnit Framework

Repeat On Failure Attribute

Asked by benny meade

Hello

Do you have plan to implement an attribute for 'Repeat On Failed' with version 3.0 ?

The example code I'm referring to is:

http://devnet.jetbrains.net/thread/304906;jsessionid=5EE80250F865E6167CACC8147C532B4E?tstart=-1
or

I see this as a hugely beneficial Nunit attribute.

Regards
Benny

We had some discussion of this on the nunit-discuss list but nobody followed through by making a feature request. Generally, that's the way forward in going from "just talk" to scheduling something for development.

Since we currently have a RepeatAttribute, which simply runs the test multiple times until failure, this one might be called 'Retry' in order to distinquish it. If you'd like to make the request, go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nunit-3.0 and report it as a bug. We'll categorize it as a feature and it won't get forgotten that way.

Can you help with this problem?
