Description¶

Hello tool team experts, I have 2 jobs with job setting "RETRY=1":

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8378474
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8378378

However, I found that even the original job passed, it still tried to re-trigger the job again. seems not expected.

it is mentioned in http://open.qa/docs/

Automatic retries of jobs
You might encounter flaky openQA tests that fail sporadically. While the best way to address flaky test code is of course to fix the test code itself. For example if certain steps rely on external components over network retries within the test modules should be applied. However there can still be cases where you might want openQA to automatically retrigger jobs. This can be achieved by setting the test variable RETRY in the format <retries>[:<description>] to an integer value with the maximum number of retries with an optional, additional description string separated by a colon. For example triggering an openQA job with the variable RETRY=2:bug#42 will retrigger an openQA test on failure up to 2 totalling to up to 3 jobs. Note that the retry jobs are scheduled immediately and will be executed as soon as possible depending on available worker slots. Many factors can change in retries impacting the reproducibility, e.g. the used worker host and instance, any network related content, etc. By default openQA tests do not retry. The optional, additional description string is used only for reference and has no functional impact.

Expect result¶

Only re-trigger the failed job
