[WORKFLOW SDK BUG] Activity RetryPolicy is not used when activity call is wrapped in a try/exception block

[marcduiker]

Expected Behavior

When activities are using a retry policy and a try/except block is used, the except block code is executed only when the activity has been retried according to the retry policy. So if there is a RetryPolicy with max_number_of_attempts=3, the exception block is ran after 3 activity execution attempts.

Actual Behavior

When activities are using a retry policy and a try/except block is used, the except block code is immediately run once the activity fails. The activity is not being retried.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Run this Python app

Release Note

RELEASE NOTE: Workflow respects activity retries when a try/exception block is used.

[marcduiker]

Even when the activity is called without a try/exception block the workflow fails immediately. It seems the RetryPolicy is not having an effect.
