CodeceptJS Before and BeforeSuite don't retry

I want the Before, BeforeSuite to retry when a step inside Before or BeforeSuite fails

When a test step fails which is inside Before or BeforeSuite, Before or BeforeSuite don't retry.

@ufko Do you get the same result with latest CodeceptJS version 2.3.5 ?

@pablopaul I didn't try with the latest CodeceptJS. I'll try it, let you know 👍

Hi, @pablopaul I tried with latest CodeceptJS 2.3.5 and they didn't retry

This is not working for me either

Hi @pablopaul if you have any idea how to fix this could you point me in that direction? I'd love to work on this and hopefully fix it

I have the same issue with codeceptjs 3.0.6

Running codeceptjs 3.3.0 and have the same issue. Any ideas on a timeframe for this being worked on?

Example:

Feature('My Feature Name').retry(1);

Before(async ({ I, login }) => {
  {some code}
});

If anything fails in the Before, the retry doesn't happen. But if anything fails in any of the Scenario() sections it does the retry.

At this moment I recommend using retryTo plugin to handle cases like this

https://codecept.io/plugins/#retryto

Probably in future versions we will add retries for Before/BeforeSuite as well
