jest.retryTimes doesn't work

I’m trying to setup retry mechanism that uses jest-circus runner. I did follow exactly sample but it didn’t work. I remember it used to work before, but now it couldn’t work anymore. My code is below, could you please give me some glue?

jest.retryTimes(3)
it('will fail', () => {
  expect(true).toBe(false)
})

My running command is: yarn test "<path to the test>" --testRunner="jest-circus/runner" --runInBand Type script: 4.0.2 Jest: 24.0.13 Jest-circus: 26.6.3 Node: 10.12.27

So I actually found myself here thinking the same thing, i.e. that jest.retryTimes was not working…

However I just realized I was being misled since it just doesn’t output anything in console to tell you it is retrying the test – instead it just does it silently

So it is indeed actually working as expected, as the e2e tests linked above actually shows if you run it yourself

So the OP’s example test will always say failing even with his retry statement since true will never become false by itself, even after 3 tries
