Jobs to rerun failed tests from previous pipeline's results
What does this MR do?
Adds setup
and test
stage jobs to detect and run failures from previous pipeline
This change aims to reduce the feedback time when resolving failed tests for a Merge Request.
The new setup
stage jobs will detect the previous test files associated with failed jobs in the test stage of the previous pipeline and create a file with a list.
The test stage jobs will execute a rerun based on those detected test files.
How to setup and validate locally (strongly suggested)
It is possible to add the variables to run this locally via the pipeline script initiated in the new setup
stage job. However, the script aims to locate the previous pipeline to the one currently running, so if this is executed outside of the CI context the second most recent pipeline for any MR would be detected.
