How can I configure test retries in CircleCI?

You can configure test retries in CircleCI by using the when clause in your job configuration. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! Here’s a sample configuration:

version: 2.1
jobs:
  test:
    docker:
      - image: circleci/python:3.8
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          name: Run tests
          command: pytest
    retries: 2
workflows:
  version: 2
  test:
    jobs:
      - test:
          when: on_fail

What does the retries parameter do?

The retries parameter specifies how many times CircleCI should retry the job if it fails. In the example, it will retry up to 2 times.

Can I set different retry limits for different jobs?

Yes, you can set different retry limits for each job by specifying the retries parameter individually in each job's configuration.
