One thing to think about, there is a similar issue with the |
When retried, it will use the cache created in the first instance and it will fail log parsing checks. Clearing the cache will ensure no layer reuse.

The RetryBuild struct is used with conda tests which are prone to errors unrelated to the buildpack itself. Restarting the build usually fixes that but will take advantage of the cache having been created during the first build and thus loses the information searched. Thus Keeping all the logs will allow the tests that verify that conda has been installed once. It is not possible for all the tests to just clear the cache as some of them are verifying that the existing cache is indeed not used.

I implemented returning all the logs as a single string currently as there is another test that also checks that a different version of Miniconda has been freshly installed over an existing cache and thus cannot use clear cache when building. |

Summary
The conda default test build sometimes fail for unexpected reasons unrelated to the logic of the buildpacks and thus is retried.
Usually, the second try is successful however it uses the cache generated from the initial build and while it shows a working buildpack, the logs generated from this second build will not contain the expected output.
Thus in this case, clear the caches when building. It will do nothing for the initial build, and ensures that the second one starts from fresh.
Use Cases
Reduce the flackyness of the tests as the error generated in this case comes only from not having the log containing the expected content.
