Background

It's common to encounter transient errors such as network issues or temporary server unavailability. Currently, there is no built-in mechanism in Gauge to retry a step based on specific conditions like network errors.

Request

I would like to request a new feature in Gauge that allows steps to be retried automatically based on user-defined conditions. This feature would enhance the robustness of tests by handling intermittent issues more gracefully.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a mechanism to define retry logic within steps or at the suite level with the following capabilities:

Retry Conditions: Allow users to specify conditions for retrying a step, such as:

  • HTTP status codes (e.g., 429 Too Many Requests, 500 Internal Server Error)
  • Specific exceptions (e.g., IOException, TimeoutException)
  • Custom logic (e.g., retry based on the response body or headers)
