Does Polly WaitAndRetryAsync() swallow exceptions during retries?

Does Polly "swallow" the exceptions during each retry attempt?

i think you have to use Polly.Policy.Handle<Exception>()...

Only if that exception is declared in the handler; otherwise, it will throw.

var retryPolicy = Policy
    .Handle<FooException>()
    .WaitAndRetryAsync(retryCount: 5, retryNumber => TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));

var retryPolicy = Policy
    .Handle<FooException>()
    .WaitAndRetryAsync(retryCount: 5, retryNumber => TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(200));

Note the .Handle<FooException> line; only FooException will be retried.
