Root Cause

TestStatus type in @salesforce/agents/src/types.ts doesn't include 'RETRY':
type TestStatus = 'NEW' | 'IN_PROGRESS' | 'COMPLETED' | 'ERROR' | 'TERMINATED'

But the API returns status: "RETRY" during polling.

Impact

• Blocks ALL agent testing via CLI
• No workaround available
• Affects both stable and nightly builds
• --api-version flag doesn't help

This is a server side issue. I'm getting more information from that team. I'll let you know if there is a workaround.

This is still an issue. I had contacted Salesforce support more than 3 weeks ago and they said it was a known issue. If more people hit that report button maybe it will flag it to the team and they can get fixed sooner. Serious blocker here for people using Agent test commands through the CLI:
