Possible to rerun Cucumber Scenario based on condition/exception

[rajivnw]

I would like to rerun failed Cucumber Scenarios if there is specific condition or exception comes. Let's assume that Scenario failed due to the ongoing deployment of the service or Cloud Device restarted or interrupted in between the execution.

In all of these cases we get specific exceptions and if they come, retry the scenario else just marked failed without retry.

I really like this idea! Few questions...

How would you envision we specify the exception messages?

Should we use a regular expression?

Are you suggesting rerun ONLY if we see the exception message?

In my cases we are throwing exception with message like "ABC service is down" or "device is unavailable". Based on exception message we enable the rerun.
I hope this help.

This does help.
