}What happened?
Running tests using our Selenium server, which is behind a nginx server, sometimes we are getting HTTP 504 Gateway time-out error. And as that kind of errors by default are replied with an HTML page with the error itself, is causing another error on WebdriverIO while parsing the response:
Unexpected token '<', "
<he"... is not valid JSON when running
That errors avoids the retry system, causing the entire test fail.
What is your expected behavior?
The request should be retried as it happens with other request failures
How to reproduce the bug.
Is a private server so I can grant anyone access, by it should be easily to reproduce with a simple mock, as the one purposed here: #2521 (comment)
