Hi all,
Looking through the bugzilla I came across, #28736 requesting a retry
attribute for the ftp task.
I thought instead that a generic Retry task container may be useful.
I've quickly thrown this together and first tests (using get) seem to
be fine, does anyone have an objection to adding this?
Use case:
- network operations may fail and cause a build to fail when all is
needed is another attempt
<retry noRetries="3">
<get src="" dest=""/>
</retry>
1. we have this in the smartfrog workflow stuff...I'd recommend you add
an interval too, so that if something fails you can wait a bit before
trying again. Exponential backoff with jitter is just feature creep.
2. it looks like you try and redo each task until it succeeds. Surely
you'd want to rerun the sequence?
3. I'd resend the underlying exception on the ultimate failure, as it
may contain useful information
