Retry in nunit not working when test times out

Question

I am using Timeout attribute for nunit test case as below:

[Test, TestCaseSource("TestCases"), Retry(2), Timeout(10000)
public void test(){
    // Some code that runs for more than 10 seconds
}

I have gone through the documentation of nunit but it said that apart from assertion error, retry will not work but I have a situation where test times out.

I want this test to execute again as it is timing out but it executes only once using above code. Please help.

Retry only works on Assertion failures. You will have to write a custom Retry attribute that retries on Errors as well. Here is one way of doing it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46319701/nunit-retry-on-exception-by-default
