Gilberto Torrezan commented on SUREFIRE-1379:
---------------------------------------------
Sorry, putting a delay on `@Before` doesn't solve the problem.
First, because I want a delay only between retry attempts, not on regular
executions. For example, if I have 10 tests, and all of them run without
problems, no delay is inserted. But, if the 9th test fails, and the
`rerunFailingTestsCount` property is greater than 0, it will be rerun. And in
this case I want it to sleep for some seconds before rerunning again.
Second, yes, nobody wants to slow down tests. That's why my proposal is about
creating a property for the plugin, let's say `timeBetweenRerunAttempts` (or a
better name), that would be 0 by default. No tests would be impacted unless you
specify so.
Third, and that's indeed just my problem: Currently I have more than 1300 tests
in my application, and since we already manage retries of failed tests by using
the failsafe plugin (and the `rerunFailingTestsCount` property), it looks like
a good place to also configure this delay I've mentioned. It's totally
impractical to go test-by-test and introduce the delay by hand (also because it
doesn't actually solve the problem, see above).
As a side-note, not related to the issue at hand: can you point me instructions
on how to properly submit issues to this project? I've tried using a [job story
format|https://blog.intercom.com/using-job-stories-design-features-ui-ux/], but
it caused more confusion than it helped. Thanks!

> Key: SUREFIRE-1379
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1379
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Maven Failsafe Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.20
> Reporter: Gilberto Torrezan
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
>
> Some of my integration tests require access to 3rd party services that run in
> other machines, and sometimes those services stop responding due to network
> problems.
> I want to be able to set a delay between each attempt to rerun a failed
> test, instead of rerunning everything in the same second, so tests that fail
> due to connection problems can have better chances of succeed.
> Waiting 5 seconds between attempts, in my case, is way cheaper than rerunning
> everything again.
