Retry

Retry is similar to eventually, but rather than attempt a block of code for a period of time, it attempts a block of code a maximum number of times. We still provide a timeout period to avoid the loop running for ever.

class MyTests: ShouldSpec() {
  init {
    should("retry up to 4 times") {
      retry(4, 10.minutes) {
      }
    }
  }
}

Additional options include the delay between runs, a multiplier to use exponential delays, and an exception class if we only want to repeat for certain exceptions and fail for others.
