Retry tests that fail for reasons other then the swarm tasks #32

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Currently if swarm allocates a machine and the machine fails to get the file 
uploaded, swarm counts this as a failure and stops. The test didn't have a 
chance to run though and the end user might (incorrectly) think that something 
is wrong with there test, when the issue was really with swarm.

Swarm should still count the run as a failure, but if the failure wasn't due to 
a task then swarm should try to run the test.

Extra points if the end user is unaware that this occurred.

The easiest way to repo this is to have the machine provider point an ip that 
isn't a valid swarm machine, then watch it try to use it and fail to upload the 
test.
