--repeat
The --repeat
configuration value tells Maelstrom to
repeat every test the specified number of times. When combined with a large
cluster, this can be very powerful.
Sometimes a bug is very hard to reproduce. In this case, you could run the test
that sometimes reproduces the bug with --repeat=1000
, or more. In this
situation, it’s useful to add --stop-after
.
Another time --repeat
can be useful is when you have a test of some
nondeterministic code and you want to really stress test it. Running the tests
with a large --repeat
can really help to instill confidence.
