Description

Hello,

In our case, we are using dependency library of robotframework-dependencylibrary==4.0.0 which marks TC to must run befor eg.

P_EH-T789: Edit My Profile
Depends On Test P_EH-T787: Login

When we add the retry tag to the 789 test cases it is needed to execute (retry) 787 as well.
Possible solution for us would be to retry the whole robot file.
I miss this option in your library.

Can you please add such an option?
Otherwise, it is not very useful for our scenario.

Regards,
Jakub

Research direction

Start by reading the retry-tag handling and dependency behavior for robotframework-dependencylibrary 4.0.0, then trace how a retry currently selects tests. Define the option's expected behavior for a dependent test such as P_EH-T789 and its dependency P_EH-T787, or for retrying the whole Robot Framework file; done means that scenario is supported and covered by the project's tests.
