Feature update: Auto-retry in actions

In response to user feedback, we've introduced a couple of improvements to the auto-retry mechanism in pipeline actions. Read below for a full breakdown of changes.

Auto-retry forces the action to run again on failure. The option is turned off by default and can be activated in the action settings:

Auto-retry location in the action settings

What you need to know

This is how the option worked before:

• the action was marked as 'failed' on the first unsuccessful try
• the interval between retries could only be set in minutes
• the actions in the 'On failure' section were run on each retry

This is how it works now:

• if the action fails, the event is noted in the action logs
• the action status remains 'in progress'
• delay time is now set in seconds (5400 seconds = 90 minutes max)
• only after the last retry proves unsuccessful (10 tries max), the action is marked as 'failed'

Auto-retry settings

API and YAML

• retry_interval (recommended) Use this new variable to define the interval between retries. The value are seconds.
• retry_delay (deprecated) The old variable will supported for a finite time to keep your current scripts and settings working. The value are minutes.
