Clarify what "unique customSnapshotIdentifier" means when using with jest.retryTimes()

[mihkeleidast]

When using jest.retryTimes, toMatchImageSnapshot fails if there is no custom customSnapshotIdentifier configured. However, I don't really understand what the docs mean in this case in terms of "uniqueness".

For example, if I define it like this:

customSnapshotIdentifier: (options) => {
    return `${options.defaultIdentifier}-snap`;
}

which is effectively the same as the default snapshot identifier, I get past the thrown error, and it seems to work OK. So why does it need to be configured at all?

Thanks for the workaround @mihkeleidast 👍

It indeed works. And I also don't understand why its needed 🤷
