# bail

- **Type:** `number`
- **Default:** `0`
- **CLI:** `--bail [number]` (default: `1`)

Abort the test run after the specified number of test failures. This is useful for stopping test runs early when failures occur.

Setting this to `0` (the default) means to run all tests regardless of failures. Setting this to `1` will stop the test run after the first test failure.


**CLI**

```bash
npx rstest --bail 1
```


**rstest.config.ts**

```ts
import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  bail: 1,
});
```
