# RSpec::Retryable

TODO: Delete this and the text below, and describe your gem

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file `lib/rspec/retryable`. To experiment with that code, run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt.
RSpec Retryable is a gem that allows you to retry RSpec examples based on custom handlers. This can be useful for handling flaky tests or tests that depend on external systems.

## Installation

TODO: Replace `UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_IMMEDIATELY_AFTER_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG` with your gem name right after releasing it to RubyGems.org. Please do not do it earlier due to security reasons. Alternatively, replace this section with instructions to install your gem from git if you don't plan to release to RubyGems.org.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
Install the gem and add it to the application's Gemfile by executing:

```bash
bundle add UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_IMMEDIATELY_AFTER_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG
$ bundle add rspec-retryable
```

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

```bash
gem install UPDATE_WITH_YOUR_GEM_NAME_IMMEDIATELY_AFTER_RELEASE_TO_RUBYGEMS_ORG
$ gem install rspec-retryable
```

## Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here
Simply calling `RSpec::Retryable.bind` enables the ability to retry on test examples. You can add your first handler by using `RSpec::Retryable.handlers.register(SomeHandler)`.

## Development
#### Example

Create a file `retry_setup.rb` with the following content:

```retry_setup.rb
require 'rspec/retryable'

class SimpleRetryHandler
MAX_RETRIES = 2

def initialize
# Initialization code here
@retries = Hash.new(0)
end

def call(payload)
# use payload to set retry or not based on RSpec example state

if @retries[payload.example.id] < MAX_RETRIES
# Set `payload.retry` to `true` to enable rspec retry
payload.retry = true if payload.state == :failed
else
# Pass down to next handler
yield
end
end
end

RSpec::Retryable.bind

RSpec::Retryable.handlers.register(SimpleRetryHandler)
```

Then requires the setup in your `spec_helper.rb`

```spec_helper.rb
require 'retry_setup'

RSpec.configure do |config|
# ... some rspec setup
end
```

`payload` holds below information:

- `example`: (read-only) RSpec example
- `state`: Current state of the example, can be alterted by handlers
- `notify`: default to `true`, if set to `false`, reporter will not be notified
- `result`: this is the final result returned to RSpec runner
- `retry`: default to `false`, if set to `true`, the example will be retried

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
#### Interact with multiple Handlers

Since we use [Chain-of-responsibility pattern](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-of-responsibility_pattern) to define handlers, it's possible to chain handlers with a payload passing down as `Rack::Builder` or `ActionDispatch::MiddlewareStack` to manage a stack of handlers, for example:

```retry_setup.rb
RSpec::Retryable.bind

class FirstRetryHandler
def call(payload)
puts "-> First handler in"

# ... do something based on payload state ...

yield

puts "<- First handler out"
end
end

# This handler stops retry when expected condition met
class SecondRetryHandler
def call(payload)
puts "-> Second handler in"

# ... do something based on payload state ...

yield

puts "<- Second handler out"
end
end

RSpec::Retryable.handlers.register(FirstRetryHandler)
RSpec::Retryable.handlers.register(SecondRetryHandler)
```

When execute tests, the output will look like:

```
-> First handler in
-> Second handler in
<- Second handler out
<- First handler out
```

## Development

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `bin/rspec` to run the tests.
