Ismael Juma commented on KAFKA-8164: ------------------------------------ We are doing this just for Jenkins PR builds, retries are disabled by default. > Improve test passing rate by rerunning flaky tests > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-8164 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8164 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.3.0 > Reporter: Viktor Somogyi-Vass > Assignee: Viktor Somogyi-Vass > Priority: Major > Fix For: 2.6.0 > > > Failing flaky tests are often a problem: > * pull requests need to be rerun to achieve a green build > * rerunning the whole build for a PR is resource and time consuming > * green build give high confidence when releasing (and well, generally too) > but flaky tests often erode this and annoying for the developers > The aim of this JIRA is to provide an improvement which automatically retries > any tests that are failed for the first run. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
