-    This test ensures that nebari can be built and packaged by conda-forge.
-
-    This is achieved by walking through the following steps:
-      1. Use Python build package to generate the `sdist` .tar.gz file
-      2. Use grayskull package to generate the `meta.yaml` recipe file
-      3. Use conda build to attempt to build the nebari package from the `meta.yaml`
-
-    These steps mimic what takes places on the conda-forge/nebari-feedstock repo whenever
-    a new version of the package gets released.
