Add a way to run a test multiple times in a row

[ahoppen]

Sometimes, when debugging a non-deterministic test, it is useful if you can run it multiple times in a row until it fails. It would be great if the Swift Extension offered that ability.

Using swift-testing you could do that.

@Test(arguments: 0..<100)
func testMultiple(attempt: Int){
    ...
}

I was thinking XCTest ;-)

This seems quite niche. Is there any reason you can't wrap the test in a for loop that runs it multiple times.

[ahoppen]

I could. I just found the Xcode feature to run a test repeatedly useful quite regularly because it also gives you a few things out of the box like logging which iteration it’s currently on.

I've used this a few times in Xcode to diagnose flakey XCTests that have setUp/tearDown

I didn't know this was an option in Xcode.
