Ruby retry on raise

def excute_query(tried: 0)
  puts "tried: #{tried}"
  tried += 1
  raise StandardError.new("error")

  rescue StandardError => e
    tried > 3 ? raise(e) : retry
  end
end

excute_query
tried: 0
tried: 1
tried: 2
tried: 3
(irb):44:in 'Object#excute_query': error (StandardError)

It turns out the tries argument can simply be augmented in the function body and is passed on when retry is called
