Automatic retry for Test Execution Engine failures when context missing
0 reputation · 22 Sept 2020, 22:11 UTC
Logs from a recent qTest deployment contain the exact error string "Test run failed: Unable to locate test execution context" when the Test Execution Engine cannot match a test run ID. The Test Execution Engine is responsible for scheduling, launching, and tracking test runs during deployment. Current behavior halts the deployment without any automatic retry, and the log does not indicate which configuration file caused the missing context, leaving the root‑cause unclear.
Should the Test Execution Engine automatically retry failed runs when the test execution context is missing, or should it abort the deployment? Which configuration setting determines this behavior, and is it documented for the supported qTest versions?
