Jenkins ver. 1.609.1
sauce-ondeman-plugin version 1.137
It would be optimal to have a retry checkbox in the sauce-ondemand-plugin with optionally a max retries count so when sauce connects fails it retries, I found that when running multiple tests in parallel cause the tunnel to fail from time to time, always using the same credentials and the same Jenkins slave. I can also recreate in a docker container and with a different Sauce Labs account.
The reason to incorporate this retry mechanism in the plugin is because when the flaky tunnel issue happens the tests fails which is unfortunate.
Without the retry in the plugin there is no option but to stop using it and open the tunnel via shell scripting and implement the retry in our own scripts however this could be useful for other users.
