How to rerun the failed scenarios using Cucumber?

task cucumber() {
    dependsOn assemble, compileTestJava
    doLast {
        javaexec {
            main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = ['--plugin', 'json:target/cucumber-reports/json/cucumber.json',
                    '--plugin', "rerun:target/rerun.txt",
                    '--glue', 'steps',
                    'src/test/resources']
        }
    }
}

task cucumberRerunFailed() {
    doLast {
        javaexec {
            main = "io.cucumber.core.cli.Main"
            classpath = configurations.cucumberRuntime + sourceSets.main.output + sourceSets.test.output
            args = ['--plugin', 'json:target/cucumber-reports/json/cucumber.json',
                    '@target/rerun.txt']
        }
    }
}

I know this is old, but I found my way here first and then later found a much more up to date answer (not the accepted, Cyril Duchon-Doris' answer): https://stackoverflow.com/a/41174252/215789

Since cucumber 3.0 you can use --retry to specify how many times to retry a scenario that failed. https://cucumber.io/blog/open-source/announcing-cucumber-ruby-3-0-0/

Just tack it on to your cucumber command: cucumber ... --retry 2
