Reset stop conditions about tenacity HOT 7 CLOSED

I am sorry but it's not really clear. Can you provide a full small example of what you can't and want to achieve?

Keep in mind this is a retrying library. Not a general iteration library.

@cher-nov as you said I think you need to separate the logic into two different functions, the main/current one that contains the while loop and another one that will use retrying:

def main_function():
     previous_job = None
     while not stop_event.is_set():
         current_job = process_job(..., previous=previous_job)
         # ...
         previous_job = current_job

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3))
def process_job(..., previous=None):
    ...

@georgepsarakis Thank you, I know about this workaround, but the problem is that I need data from ALL jobs done.

@jd

@retry(stop=stop_after_attempt(3))
def test_function():
    # while loop that does jobs
    # every successful iteration is a completed job
    while not stop_event.is_set():
        # some code that can raise exception #
        test_function.retry.attempt_number = 1  # <-- something like that,
                                                # but at the library-level

@cher-nov you're providing a solution in #76 (comment) but I would actually like to know what's the problem in the solution proposed by @georgepsarakis in #76 (comment)

IIUC all you want to do is to retry each job up to 3 times and give up if it fails. That's what @georgepsarakis wrote. You can store all the job result in a list if you need them all in the end.

You can store all the job result in a list if you need them all in the end.

this. But to access that list I must either write process_job function as nested or pass it a reference to the list. Both solutions not so beautiful IMHO. :)

Writing functional code and separating the retry condition from the general workflow still sounds better to me.

Also you can do something like

attempt = stop_after_attempt(3)

@retry(stop=attempt)
def test_function():
    # while loop that does jobs
    # every successful iteration is a completed job
    while not stop_event.is_set():
        # some code that can raise exception
        attempt.max_attempt_number += 1

Or write your own stop function/class in the end. :)
