Retry on fail in step provisioning

[pun-ky]

thx @tomaszmichalak for reporting this

consider impl

step("xxx") {
    rerunOnFail = true // exists
    retryOnFail(3) // will wrap step action into `aem.retry { afterSquaredSecond(3) }.withCountdown { /* action() */ } }

}

Hi, I would think also about something like this:

step("xxx") {
    rerunOnFail = true // exists
    retryWhen {
        condition {
            (aem.bundles == valid) && (operationStatusValidationResult == 500)
        }
        times(5)
    }
}

Example: The step calls the HTTP endpoint to modify some value, let say: update some counter.

The requested HTTP endpoint has timed out. A timeout signals that something took to much time, but it does not mean that your operation failed.

To confirm the counter state, your logic requests other endpoint and checks its status.

I think that all retry related features could be implemented as a part of step action

action {
    instanceActions.awaitUp { instances = listOf(this) } // throws exception when e.g bundles are not up; yours 'retryWhen()'
    retry { afterSquaredSecond(5) }.withCountdown<Unit, Exception> {
        // do anything
    }
}
