Description

The TestKeyShell.testKeySuccessfulKeyLifecycle test is supposed to ensure that the deleted key is no longer in the results of a subsequent delete command. Mistakenly, it is testing that it is STILL there.

The delete command is actually working but the stdout capture should be reset instead of flushed. Therefore, the test is picking up the existence of the key name from the deletion message in the previous command.
