Retry Strategies

Device Cloud provides retry functionality to handle flaky tests and temporary failures.

Basic Usage

Setting Retry Count

dcd cloud ... --retry 3

This will:

• Run the test initially

• Retry up to 3 times on failure

• Stop on first success

• Report final status

Understanding Retries

What Gets Retried

• Failed test executions

• Infrastructure issues

• Device availability problems

What Doesn't Get Retried

• Invalid flow files

• Missing dependencies

• Authentication failures

Cost Implications

Note: Retries are now free of charge but limited to 2 (for a total of 3 runs). If you're test is still failing after 2 retries, please ask for help on Discord.
