[jira] [Commented] (SUREFIRE-1379) When rerunning failed tests, I want to be able to set a delay between each attempt, so the whole test suite doesn't fail due to a connection problem to 3rd party services.

---------------------------------------------

Sorry I think you misunderstood the problem.

I'm not asking for the plugin to fix network issues (how it would?). I'm asking for a way to add a delay between failed executions.

The plugin manages to retry tests when those fail for any reason (with this property: https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/integration-test-mojo.html#rerunFailingTestsCount ). It would be convenient to have an option to add a delay between attempts. That's it. The "network problem" was just an example of how that delay would be useful.

> Some of my integration tests require access to 3rd party services that run in other machines, and sometimes those services stop responding due to network problems.
> I want to be able to  set a delay between each attempt to rerun a failed test, instead of rerunning everything in the same second, so tests that fail due to connection problems can have better chances of succeed.
> Waiting 5 seconds between attempts, in my case, is way cheaper than rerunning everything again.
