Retry

Selenium Boot retries failed tests automatically. No IRetryAnalyzer wiring required.

---

Global retry

Enable retry for all tests in selenium-boot.yml:

retry:
  enabled: true
  maxAttempts: 2   # total attempts (including the first run)

maxAttempts: 2 means: run once, if it fails, retry once more.

---

Per-method override

Use @Retryable to override the global setting for a specific test:

import com.seleniumboot.listeners.Retryable;

@Test
@Retryable(maxAttempts = 3)
public void flakyTest() {
    // retried up to 3 times regardless of global config
}

---

Disabling retry globally

retry:
  enabled: false

When disabled, @Retryable on individual methods is also ignored.

---

In the HTML report

The Dashboard tab shows a Retry Summary card when any test was retried:

Metric	Meaning
Retried	Tests that failed at least once but were retried
Recovered	Tests that eventually passed after retry
Still Failing	Tests that failed all attempts

Retried tests are marked with a ↻ Nx badge in the Test Cases table.

How it works

RetryAnnotationTransformer is registered via Java SPI (META-INF/services/org.testng.ITestNGListener). It is discovered automatically when selenium-boot is on the classpath — no listener registration needed.

At runtime, RetryListener checks the global config and @Retryable annotation, then returns true (retry) or false (stop) to TestNG.
