Mark any test as flaky.

If this test is not successful, it will be retries according to the supplied RetryPolicyM IO. See Control.Retry for documentation on how to specify a RetryPolicyM IO.

For example, you can retry test cases from tasty-hunit like so:

import Test.Tasty.HUnit ( testCase ) -- from tasty-hunit

myFlakyTest :: TestTree
myFlakyTest = flakyTest (limitRetries 5 <> constantDelay 1000) $ testCase "some test case" $ do ... 

You can retry individual tests (like the example above), or retry entire groups by wrapping testGroup.

Implement a constant delay with unlimited retries.

Grow delay exponentially each iteration. Each delay will increase by a factor of two.

FullJitter exponential backoff as explained in AWS Architecture Blog article.

http://www.awsarchitectureblog.com/2015/03/backoff.html

temp = min(cap, base * 2 ** attempt)

sleep = temp / 2 + random_between(0, temp / 2)

Implement Fibonacci backoff.

Retry immediately, but only up to n times.

Add an upperbound to a policy such that once the given time-delay amount *per try* has been reached or exceeded, the policy will stop retrying and fail. If you need to stop retrying once *cumulative* delay reaches a time-delay amount, use limitRetriesByCumulativeDelay

Add an upperbound to a policy such that once the cumulative delay over all retries has reached or exceeded the given limit, the policy will stop retrying and fail.

Set a time-upperbound for any delays that may be directed by the given policy. This function does not terminate the retrying. The policy `capDelay maxDelay (exponentialBackoff n)` will never stop retrying. It will reach a state where it retries forever with a delay of maxDelay between each one. To get termination you need to use one of the limitRetries function variants.
