Playwright Test will retry tests if they failed. Pass the maximum number of retries when running the tests, or set them in the [configuration file](./test-configuration.md).

```bash
npx playwright test --retries=3
```

```js js-flavor=js
// playwright.config.js
// @ts-check

/** @type {import('@playwright/test').PlaywrightTestConfig} */
const config = {
  retries: 3,
};

module.exports = config;
```

```js js-flavor=ts
// playwright.config.ts
import { PlaywrightTestConfig } from '@playwright/test';

const config: PlaywrightTestConfig = {
  retries: 3,
};
export default config;
```

Failing tests will be retried multiple times until they pass, or until the maximum number of retries is reached. Playwright Test will report all tests that failed at least once.

```bash
Running 1 test using 1 worker

1 flaky
  1) my.test.js:1:1
