Retry the step only on the System Error

skaul

So i am referring to the blog posts here

1. Introducing step failure strategies in Bitbucket Pipelines - Work Life by Atlassian
2. Introducing the “retry” step failure strategy for Bitbucket Pipelines - Work Life by Atlassian

My step, in sense of flow looks, something like follows:

    - step: &StepName
        name: StepName
        runs-on:
          - self.hosted
          - linux
        image:
          name: $JFROG_DOCKER_URL
          username: $JFROG_DOCKER_PULL_USERNAME
          password: $JFROG_DOCKER_PULL_PASSWORD
        script:
          # Run your commands inside the Docker container
          - My commands goes here
        on-fail:
          strategy: retry
          maxRetryCount: 5

Following the same structure as above there are multiple steps in the pipeline.

What i am unable to find out is i only want to retry the step if the bitbucket pipelines reports a SYSTEM ERROR. 

If it is a genuine failure of the step it should not repeat the step. 

Is there a condition that has to be added or is available that i can use as the documentation is not very clear on the on-fail strategy on what all it can have.

Note i found a discussion from the previous year here New Feature: Step Failure Strategies - Atlassian Community not sure if it was considered without raising any official feature request.

Hi Skaul,

I have clicked the request assistance button to notify Atlassian Support of this request so they can look to answer this question for yourself.
