Testing tools: RetryLoop swallows the interesting exception
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: SLING-2430
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2430
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Testing
Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
Priority: Minor
The fail at the end of the RetryLoop() constructor does not report the last
exception catches inside the loop, which is usually of interest. Instead, these
are passed to reportException(), which turns out not really useful, since the
fail will break through the outer code and the code would have to remember the
exception, catch the AssertionError etc.
It might still make sense to report *all* inner exceptions in the loop, but a
good default behavior should include the actual exception right away in the
fail().
