_My question_:  
Test script for Collection running folder wise instead of API wise. Created the Test script for collection. When triggered the collection , retry of failed tests happening folder wise instead of individual API wise

_Details (like screenshots)_:

If New Request-1 failed, i am expecting only New Request-1 should run as per the retry attempts configured.  
But after execution of complete Folder-B, again complete Folder B run as per the retry attempts configured.

**Test Scripts configured for collection:**

var maxNumberOfTries = 3;  
var sleepBetweenTries = 10000;

if (!pm.environment.get(“collection\_tries”)) {  
pm.environment.set(“collection\_tries”, 1);  
}

if ((pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([200,201,202,204])) && (pm.environment.get(“collection\_tries”) \< maxNumberOfTries)) {  
pm.environment.unset(“collection\_tries”);  
pm.test(“Successful request”, () =\> {  
pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([200,201,202,204]);  
});

}  
else {  
var tries = parseInt(pm.environment.get(“collection\_tries”), 10);  
pm.environment.set(“collection\_tries”, tries + 1);  
setTimeout(function() {}, sleepBetweenTries);  
postman.setNextRequest(request.name);  
}
