## Ability to set option to auto-retry a build when it fails For several cases, we have observed that Xamarin Android builds fail to find the proper SDK & then fail the build. However, a simply rebuild will fix the issue in most cases. ---

Hello there! Thanks for the feature request, also we found out that this issue is not happening on the `Previous Hybrisd stable channel` stack! 🙃 ---

I think instead of doing a complete rebuild a **step** retry option would be better, as that would take less time. Would that solve the issue you’re referring to @natedykens, if you could mark a specific step to be retried instead of retrying the whole build? ---

I am not sure if this would work or not, but we could try. The reason I say this is because when I have the same issue locally (with Visual Studio) when trying to build, I have to close entirely out of the the solution/application & restart for it to work. But I guess if all your builds are run via command-line, then I suppose it could work. ---

Thanks for the details! We have a card in our backlog to allow retry on step level. I think that should help, but if you want to test whether it would you could copy/duplicate the related failing step and then specify a `run_if: .IsBuildFailed` for the copy, which means to only run that step if a previous step would fail.

Hello @viktorbenei Do you know if this evolution is scheduled for a release? And if yes, in how much time do you think we’ll see this in production? Thanks! ---

Hello there, I checked and this task got into the “ready to sprint” status 2 days ago, if everything goes well it should be released in the following weeks. 🙃 ---

Hey I just wanted to chime in here that a “retry step” feature would be great! We frequently have our “flutter build” step time out, and typically re-running the build works. I’m not sure why it times out, but having it automatically time out and retry would save us a lot of manually clicking “re-run” when this happens. Is there an updated timeline for this feature? ---

Hey there @maxlapides! No update yet, this is something still in progress, but will update you as soon as anything substantial has been implemented! 🙂 ---

+1 It is especially helpful in development if only the pipeline failure step can be done. ---
