Simple library for retry mechanism
Slightly inspired by
[Try::Tiny::Retry](https://metacpan.org/pod/Try::Tiny::Retry)
# SYNOPSIS
HTTP GET with retry:
url := "http://example.com"
var body []byte
err := retry.New(
retry.Attempts(5),
retry.Delay(100*time.Millisecond),
).Do(
func() error {
resp, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, err = ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
},
)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
fmt.Println(string(body))
HTTP GET with retry with data:
url := "http://example.com"
body, err := retry.DoWithData(retry.New(),
func() ([]byte, error) {
resp, err := http.Get(url)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return body, nil
},
)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
fmt.Println(string(body))
Reusable retrier for high-frequency retry operations:
// Create retrier once, reuse many times
retrier := retry.New(
retry.Attempts(5),
retry.Delay(100*time.Millisecond),
)
// Minimal allocations in happy path
for {
err := retrier.Do(
func() error {
return doWork()
},
)
if err != nil {
// handle error
}
}

exponential backoff algorithm from Google's HTTP Client Library for Java. Really
complicated interface.

slightly similar as this package, don't have 'simple' `Retry` method

nonintuitive interface (for me)
# BREAKING CHANGES
* 5.0.0
- Complete API redesign: method-based retry operations
- Renamed `Config` type to `Retrier`
- Renamed `NewConfig()` to `New()`
- Changed from package-level functions to methods: `retry.Do(func, config)` → `retry.New(opts...).Do(func)`
- `DelayTypeFunc` signature changed: `func(n uint, err error, config *Config)` → `func(n uint, err error, r *Retrier)`
- Migration: `retry.Do(func, opts...)` → `retry.New(opts...).Do(func)` (simple find & replace)
- This change improves performance, simplifies the API, and provides a cleaner interface
- `Unwrap()` now returns `[]error` instead of `error` to support Go 1.20 multiple error wrapping.
- `errors.Unwrap(err)` will now return `nil` (same as `errors.Join`). Use `errors.Is` or `errors.As` to inspect wrapped errors.
* 4.0.0
- infinity retry is possible by set `Attempts(0)` by PR [#49](https://github.com/avast/retry-go/pull/49)
* 3.0.0
- `DelayTypeFunc` accepts a new parameter `err` - this breaking change affects only your custom Delay Functions. This change allow [make delay functions based on error](examples/delay_based_on_error_test.go).
* 1.0.2 -> 2.0.0
- argument of `retry.Delay` is final delay (no multiplication by `retry.Units` anymore)
- function `retry.Units` are removed
- [more about this breaking change](https://github.com/avast/retry-go/issues/7)
* 0.3.0 -> 1.0.0
- `retry.Retry` function are changed to `retry.Do` function
- `retry.RetryCustom` (OnRetry) and `retry.RetryCustomWithOpts` functions are now implement via functions produces Options (aka `retry.OnRetry`)
## Usage
#### func BackOffDelay
func BackOffDelay(n uint, _ error, config DelayContext) time.Duration
BackOffDelay is a DelayType which increases delay between consecutive retries
#### func FixedDelay
func FixedDelay(_ uint, _ error, config DelayContext) time.Duration
FixedDelay is a DelayType which keeps delay the same through all iterations
#### func FullJitterBackoffDelay
func FullJitterBackoffDelay(n uint, err error, config DelayContext) time.Duration
FullJitterBackoffDelay is a DelayTypeFunc that calculates delay using
exponential backoff with full jitter. The delay is a random value between 0 and
the current backoff ceiling. Formula: sleep = random_between(0, min(cap, base *
2^attempt)) It uses config.Delay as the base delay and config.MaxDelay as the
cap.
#### func IsRecoverable
func IsRecoverable(err error) bool
IsRecoverable checks if error is an instance of `unrecoverableError`
#### func RandomDelay
func RandomDelay(_ uint, _ error, config DelayContext) time.Duration
RandomDelay is a DelayType which picks a random delay up to maxJitter
#### func Unrecoverable
func Unrecoverable(err error) error
Unrecoverable wraps an error in `unrecoverableError` struct
#### type DelayContext
type DelayContext interface {
Delay() time.Duration
MaxJitter() time.Duration
MaxBackOffN() uint
MaxDelay() time.Duration
}
DelayContext provides configuration values needed for delay calculation.
#### type DelayTypeFunc
type DelayTypeFunc func(n uint, err error, config DelayContext) time.Duration
DelayTypeFunc is called to return the next delay to wait after the retriable
function fails on `err` after `n` attempts.
#### func CombineDelay
func CombineDelay(delays ...DelayTypeFunc) DelayTypeFunc
CombineDelay is a DelayType the combines all of the specified delays into a new
DelayTypeFunc
#### type Error
type Error []error
Error type represents list of errors in retry
#### func (Error) As
func (e Error) As(target interface{}) bool
#### func (Error) Error
func (e Error) Error() string
Error method return string representation of Error It is an implementation of
error interface
#### func (Error) Is
func (e Error) Is(target error) bool
#### func (Error) LastError
func (e Error) LastError() error
LastError returns the last error in the error list.
This is a convenience method for users migrating from retry-go v4.x where
errors.Unwrap(err) returned the last error. In v5.0.0, errors.Unwrap(err)
returns nil due to the switch to Unwrap() []error for Go 1.20 compatibility.
Migration example:
// v4.x code:
lastErr := errors.Unwrap(retryErr)
// v5.0.0 code (option 1 - recommended):
if errors.Is(retryErr, specificError) { ... }
// v5.0.0 code (option 2 - if you need the last error):
lastErr := retryErr.(retry.Error).LastError()
Note: Using errors.Is or errors.As is preferred as they check ALL wrapped
errors, not just the last one.
#### func (Error) Unwrap
func (e Error) Unwrap() []error
Unwrap returns the list of errors that this Error is wrapping.
This method implements the Unwrap() []error interface introduced in Go 1.20 for
multi-error unwrapping. This allows errors.Is and errors.As to traverse all
wrapped errors, not just the last one.
IMPORTANT: errors.Unwrap(err) will return nil because the standard library's
errors.Unwrap function only calls Unwrap() error, not Unwrap() []error. This is
the same behavior as errors.Join in Go 1.20.
Example - Use errors.Is to check for specific errors:
err := retry.New(retry.Attempts(3)).Do(func() error {
return os.ErrNotExist
})
if errors.Is(err, os.ErrNotExist) {
// Handle not exist error
}
Example - Use errors.As to extract error details:
var pathErr *fs.PathError
if errors.As(err, &pathErr) {
fmt.Println("Failed at path:", pathErr.Path)
}
Example - Get the last error directly (for migration):
if retryErr, ok := err.(retry.Error); ok {
lastErr := retryErr.LastError()
}
See also: LastError() for direct access to the last error.
#### func (Error) WrappedErrors
func (e Error) WrappedErrors() []error
WrappedErrors returns the list of errors that this Error is wrapping. It is an
implementation of the `errwrap.Wrapper` interface in package
[errwrap](https://github.com/hashicorp/errwrap) so that `retry.Error` can be
used with that library.
#### type OnRetryFunc
type OnRetryFunc func(attempt uint, err error)
Function signature of OnRetry function
#### type Option
type Option func(*retrierCore)
Option represents an option for retry.
#### func Attempts
func Attempts(attempts uint) Option
Attempts set count of retry. Setting to 0 will retry until the retried function
succeeds. default is 10
#### func AttemptsForError
func AttemptsForError(attempts uint, err error) Option
AttemptsForError sets count of retry in case execution results in given `err`
Retries for the given `err` are also counted against total retries. The retry
will stop if any of given retries is exhausted.
added in 4.3.0
#### func Context
func Context(ctx context.Context) Option
Context allow to set context of retry default are Background context
example of immediately cancellation (maybe it isn't the best example, but it
describes behavior enough; I hope)
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
cancel()
retry.New(
retry.Context(ctx),
).Do(
func() error {
...
},
)
#### func Delay
func Delay(delay time.Duration) Option
Delay set delay between retry default is 100ms
#### func DelayType
func DelayType(delayType DelayTypeFunc) Option
DelayType set type of the delay between retries default is a combination of
BackOffDelay and RandomDelay for exponential backoff with jitter
#### func LastErrorOnly
func LastErrorOnly(lastErrorOnly bool) Option
return the direct last error that came from the retried function default is
false (return wrapped errors with everything)
#### func MaxDelay
func MaxDelay(maxDelay time.Duration) Option
MaxDelay set maximum delay between retry does not apply by default
#### func MaxJitter
func MaxJitter(maxJitter time.Duration) Option
MaxJitter sets the maximum random Jitter between retries for RandomDelay
#### func OnRetry
func OnRetry(onRetry OnRetryFunc) Option
OnRetry function callback are called each retry
log each retry example:
retry.New(
retry.OnRetry(func(n uint, err error) {
log.Printf("#%d: %s\n", n, err)
}),
).Do(
func() error {
return errors.New("some error")
},
)
#### func RetryIf
func RetryIf(retryIf RetryIfFunc) Option
RetryIf controls whether a retry should be attempted after an error (assuming
there are any retry attempts remaining)
skip retry if special error example:
retry.New(
retry.RetryIf(func(err error) bool {
if err.Error() == "special error" {
return false
}
return true
}),
).Do(
func() error {
return errors.New("special error")
},
)
By default RetryIf stops execution if the error is wrapped using
`retry.Unrecoverable`, so above example may also be shortened to:
retry.New().Do(
func() error {
return retry.Unrecoverable(errors.New("special error"))
},
)
#### func UntilSucceeded
func UntilSucceeded() Option
UntilSucceeded will retry until the retried function succeeds. Equivalent to
setting Attempts(0).
#### func WithTimer
func WithTimer(t Timer) Option
WithTimer provides a way to swap out timer module implementations. This
primarily is useful for mocking/testing, where you may not want to explicitly
wait for a set duration for retries.
example of augmenting time.After with a print statement
type struct MyTimer {}
func (t *MyTimer) After(d time.Duration) <- chan time.Time {
fmt.Print("Timer called!")
return time.After(d)
}
retry.New(
retry.WithTimer(&MyTimer{}),
).Do(
func() error { ... },
)
#### func WrapContextErrorWithLastError
func WrapContextErrorWithLastError(wrapContextErrorWithLastError bool) Option
WrapContextErrorWithLastError allows the context error to be returned wrapped
with the last error that the retried function returned. This is only applicable
when Attempts is set to 0 to retry indefinitly and when using a context to
cancel / timeout
default is false
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()
retry.New(
retry.Context(ctx),
retry.Attempts(0),
retry.WrapContextErrorWithLastError(true),
).Do(
func() error {
...
},
)
