Delete cache on build failure

This deletes cache on build fail, still requires a rerun though
If you wanted to combine the rerun, just needs a check (label?) to ensure it only runs once

why not just delete the cache before every run? :sipjuice:

because i'm extra

[TheRealRyGuy]

i lowkey don't like the impl of that cache action so i may make my own
but this should do part of the trick - auto rerunning feels sketchy cause we can't check the error message

[TheRealRyGuy]

k this will have actual debug now when clearing cache and is readable & easier to modify
edit: still doesn't build that yaml library smh

[granny]

Proposal: Instead of clearing the actions cache, what if we just copy/pasted the "Apply Patches" & "Build Patches" steps but with the failure condition on both, as well as a step before that runs something like ./gradlew clean cleanCache.

So essentially:

1. Apply Patches
2. Build Patches
3. If failed, run ./gradlew clean cleanCache
4. If failed, run "Apply Patches"
5. If failed, run "Build Patches"

i mean clean (should?) depend on cleanCache, i'm not against fully clearing the actions cache either way as well
not a bad idea though to run it like that

• side note the cache fix doesn't fix building, that's change simpleyaml group #1364

[TheRealRyGuy]

forgot abt this my fault - fixed it though. no longer deletes actions cache
