#18631 Allow requesting multiple runs per test Issue created by jtilahun Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be great if the Pants

test

goal had an option to do more than one run per test. For comparison, in Bazel, the

bazel test

command allows one to specify

--cache_test_results=no --runs_per_test=<n>

in order to accomplish this. I haven't found an equivalent option in Pants though. Describe the solution you'd like I would like an option similar to

--runs_per_test

to be available as part of the Pants

test

goal so that one can request multiple runs per test. Describe alternatives you've considered I've considered the

pytest-repeat

plugin for Pytest (https://pypi.org/project/pytest-repeat/). However, according to the project description page, the plugin does not support

unittest.TestCase

test classes. Additional context The context is that one may want to do multiple runs per test in order to more readily expose flaky unit tests. I want to do periodic runs in CI where all unit tests are reran forcefully (i.e., with the

--force

option). I would also like to do more than run per test. I don't know of a supported method to do multiple runs per test directly through Pants though. pantsbuild/pants
