Retry failed tests within same time window #1

Original issue 831 created by arlake228 on 2014-02-11T16:21:53.000Z:

On the USATLAS call a question was raised whether it would be possible for bwctl to retry a regular test that fails prior to the next time window. As I understand it currently, a bwctl test gets one shot in the configured time window (e.g. 4 hours) to run a test. If that shot results in a failed test, it is not run again until the next time window. What the group was wondering was how feasible it would be to have bwctl try the test again in the same time window if a slot is open. You'd likely want to cap the number of times it retries and may only want to retry for certain types of errors.

I think it would be better to figure out why the test is failing and fix that, rather and modify bwctl to do this.

I think this needs reassessed in terms of "why" it failed some. If the test just bombs out, retrying is worthless. If the test is rejected or rescheduled or something, it might make sense to retry.
