Gleb's blog discussion - Retry or Not - Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'overrides')

[JimBarrisGSC]

I appreciate Gleb's blog, and his continued contributions to the community.
You can see the blog entry here.

I had a question re: the section where you stop retries, based on error message
if (cy.state('test').err.message.includes('cy.visit')) {
console.error('test failed because of cy.visit')
console.error('skipping retries')
cy.state('test')._testConfig.testConfigList[0].overrides.retries = -1
}

Now, it show that retries are set within the "IT" block. I have retries set globally in the cypress.config.js file. When I attempt to use "cy.state('test')._testConfig.testConfigList[0].overrides.retries = -1" the runner states:
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'overrides')".

Is it possible to have tests skip retries, if retries are set globally and not within the IT block?
