I'm concerned about removing previous failed iterations. We can't guarantee that test iterations fail for the same reason, so consolidating them here would suppress potentially important information. Looking at the JUnit specification and conventions, I think the current logic is correct– iteration failures should be recorded individually.

I don't know much about JUnit but afaik there is no built-in support for the retry-on-failure mechanism so I don't think JUnit is opinionated.
It is acceptable to agree that if one of the retries succeeds, the output should not contain a failure from such a test.
However, I get your point if all the retry fails for different reasons, but should they be reported more than once if it is one test? Should we fail twice because the error is different even if there is just one test failing? or should we make some decisions and grab one?

If a developer enables the "Run tests repeatedly" option, and each iteration passes, this will only show as 1 success, right? I don't think that's the desired behavior, and I don't think the current proposed changes consider that scenario. It's not one covered by the existing unit tests, but it should be.

Good point, pushed some changes, thanks!

The method name says removePreviousFailing, but the guard doesn't actually consider if the last test is a failing one. It'd need to check that testCase.failure is non-nil.

Indeed, this is required for Run tests repeatedly

Hey @nandodelauni. Thank you for your PR and patience! I've left some comments regarding concerns I have about merging this change.
From what I can tell, the current implementation seems to match the JUnit specifications and conventions. That said, I don't use JUnit, so I'm not familiar with many of its nuances or how other tools implement similar logic.
Could you help me better understand how you decided on this approach? Are there any resources or specifications you referenced that indicate how to handle iterations and retry failures?

🎩 What is the goal?
Avoid false positives when retry on failure is enabled and there is one retry that passes. Right now the test is reported as both success and failure.
🔨 How is it being implemented?
By filtering out test failures if a test case passes and the previous components have the same
