Automatically retry jobs on Buildkite

[ali-ramadhan]

It's common for Buildkite jobs to fail intermittently and require a restart/retry. But so far it seems like we have to manually retry. Does every contributor have the permission to restart a Buildkite job?

Buildkite does support automatic retries. To improve the developer experience it's probably worth enabling automatic retries for jobs?

Happy to modify the Buildkite .yml to add retries!

As of PR #3783 the current config is to retry automatically once, but only if the exit status is 1.

    retry:
      automatic:
        - exit_status: 1      
          limit: 1

So I think this issue has been resolved. Thanks @glwagner!
