Hi,
I've encountered a situation with my test suite where the tests are interdependent, meaning the outcome of one test can affect subsequent tests. I understand that it's typically best practice to isolate tests, but due to the nature of my test suite, isolating each test is not feasible.
When I use the pytest-rerunfailures plugin, it only reruns the specific test that fails. In my case, however, if one test fails, I need all tests to be rerun because the failed test could influence the outcomes of the others.
Therefore, I'd like to propose a new feature or option for the plugin: an option to rerun the entire test suite (or a specified group of tests) if any test fails.
For now, my solution to solve this issue is this:
max_retries = 5
retries = 0
while retries < max_retries:
result = pytest.main(["tests/test_my_tests.py"])
if result == 0:
print("Tests passed!")
break
else:
print("Tests failed, rerunning...")
retries += 1
This feature would provide value for test suites where tests are interdependent and the failure of one test may invalidate the outcomes of the others. I believe this could be a useful addition to the plugin's functionality.

Thank you for considering my proposal.
