gh_retry.sh

#!/bin/bash

# This script is used to retry failed workflows in github actions.
# It uses gh cli to fetch the failed workflows and then rerun them.
# It also checks the logs of the failed workflows to see if it is a flaky test.
# If it is a flaky test, it will rerun the failed jobs in the workflow.
# eg:
# ./gh_retry.sh -h to see the help.
# ./gh_retry.sh will run the script with default values. 

# You can also pass the following arguments:
# ./gh_retry.sh -b master -l 30 -t "30 mins ago" -w "Build Test"

#Initialize variables to default values.
BRANCH=$(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD)
LIMIT=30
BEFORE="30 mins ago"
WORKFLOW="Build Test"

# You can add multiple patterns separated by |
GREP_ERROR_PATTERN='Test "http/interactsh.yaml" failed'
