Failure Recovery (Beta)

Failure recovery (beta) lets a failing step try a different strategy before surfacing the failure. It is aimed at the narrow class of flakes where a step fails for environmental reasons (slow render, temporary 5xx) and a second attempt would succeed.

Enable for a suite

assrt.config.yamlyaml

failureRecovery:
  enabled: true
  maxAttempts: 2
  strategies: [reattempt, rerender, refetch]

Not a substitute for fixing flakes

Recovery hides intermittent failures. Treat it as a last resort. If a test needs recovery to pass, the underlying test or app needs work.
