From 7a1a8038f9ea05361bdc9f045c900f02970d922d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2025 11:27:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [FT] Capture and dismiss the ``DBReferenceError`` exceptions The base testing class now captures the ``DBReferenceError`` exceptions and retries the test execution. If the test raises the same exception again, the test is skipped. However, it will be necessary to manually check the cause of the error.
