devspace dev not logging sync events to the console

[FloChehab]

First of all, thank you for the awesome tool! Since you have introduced me about it @LukasGentele, I have been using it daily :)
At first, I was using only the sync command and I got used to the logging it does in the console.
For a couple of days, I've started using the dev command but I can't manage to get the similar logs in the console.

What happened?
Running devspace dev or devspace dev --verbose-sync doesn't show any sync related logs in the console (but they are in the .devspace folder).

What did you expect to happen instead?
All sync related events to be logged to the console when running devspace dev [--verbose-sync].

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)
I doesn't seem to be linked to the config (everything is pretty closed to default).
Here is the config I am using for devspace sync:

version: v1beta6

dev:
  sync:
    - excludePaths:
      - node_modules/
      - logs/
      - '.venv/'
      - '*.pyc'
      - '.git'
      - 'core.python.*'

I can work on a real simple example if needed.

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: v4.12.5
• Operating System: linux
• Deployment method: kubectl apply

Kubernetes Cluster:

• Cloud Provider: google
• Kubernetes Version: v1.18.2

Anything else we need to know?
I've tried to look at the code related to dev / sync but I am not that familiar with go.

/kind bug

Hi @FloChehab! Thanks for opening this issue. Glad you like DevSpace so far. Mixing the output of sync and container logs is currently not possible. However, you can use devspace dev --sync=false and open another terminal where you can run devspace sync --config=devspace.yaml.

Thanks for the info @LukasGentele !
I would personally like if we could have both (or one or the other) directly with the dev command, but it's ok for now :)

devspace sync --config=devspace.yaml makes me pick a container, I'd like sync and see the output for everything.

Turns out there was an error in there too I wasn't seeing because devspace dev never showed it.

Hi,
We would also love to have the possibility to use : devspace dev --verbose-sync and get only the logs of the sync.
It will improve the comfort to use devspace by limiting the number of terminal with the the solution you mentionned @LukasGentele.
Thanks for this great tool.

Integrated in the version 5.1.0.
Thank you devspace team
