How to use Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.Retry?

[McMlok]

Hello,

is there a documentation how to add retry logic to a test run? I added EnableMSTestRunner and OutputType=exe to my test project and also reference to Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.Retry. But one of my flaky test is still failing and I don't see any retry attempt. What I'm missing? Is there a way how to see that test retries?

My csproj is simple

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFrameworks>net8.0;net9.0</TargetFrameworks>
    <WarningsAsErrors>Nullable</WarningsAsErrors>
     <EnableMSTestRunner>true</EnableMSTestRunner>
     <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
  </PropertyGroup>
<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="MSTest" />
  <PackageReference Include="xunit" />
  <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Testing.Extensions.Retry" />
</ItemGroup>
</Project>

And I run tests with dotnet test.

Thank you

You can have a look here https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/testing/unit-testing-platform-extensions-policy#retry. Please do let us know if there is something missing or unclear from the docs.

I see that you are referencing both xunit and MSTest in the same project. This is not a pattern we recommend (or enable) with the new platform.
