Rerun failed test in java cucumber - Need help

[Baskar chinnakonda]

I have tried the max.retries options in my java/cucumber project however it was executed only once.

Could you please help me out to rerun failure test.

This feature was for JUnit, but has been replaced by the equivalent feature in surefire and failsafe. 

In general, I have found that rerunning failing tests is an anti-pattern, as it encourages unstable (and therefore unreliable) tests and can hide genuine issues.

Yeh no easy and clean way to do it with Cucumber-jvm and Serenity-BDD.

If you use the Cucumber retry, it still causes your build to fail.

Furthermore, it doesn't work well if it's a scenario outline, as it only writes the scenario outline Example line number to the txt file, and when serenity aggregates the results and generates the report - for the scenario outline it will ONLY contain the re-run scenario outline example, and the rest of the examples will be missing.
