Show dependencies logs for a task

[hqtoan94]

I'm using batect to run my execute e2e test for my application. But it's currently failed because one of the dependencies got some error. My question is that, is there any option we can show logs of all dependencies to the system logs for troubleshooting purpose?

For example, my yml:

containers:
    server-app:
        ...

    frontend-app:
        ...
        dependencies:
            - server-app

    automation-app:
        ...
        dependencies:
            - frontend-app

When starting dependencies of automation-app, there is no logs for me to know that why the dependencies is not working.
(Actually I can create new tasks and check for each dependencies but that would be better if we have an option to see the error in the first place).

Hi @hqtoan94, have you tried running the task with --output=all? (eg. ./batect --output=all the-task)

Thanks Charles, I haven't tried this @charleskorn , I will try this asap. But since my pipeline is unchangable, which means that I couldn't update the batect command. Is there any other way to have this option in batect.yml config file, Charles?

The command line flag is the only method available.

Thank you so much for your quick response @charleskorn 😊. I'll try to see if I can change the command in the pipeline or not. But this would help me a lots in the future to early detect new errors from dependencies.
