How do I see the full log of the build for a service?

[phil-s]

Recent lando versions have taken to restricting the service build output to a small scrolling 'window' within the terminal, such that most of the output disappear shortly after it appears.

I want to review the complete output, either in the terminal, or in a log file.

Using the -v (verbose) option does not change the "scrolling window" behaviour, and nor even does export TERM=dumb (which seems like a bug).

Short of switching to a genuine dumb terminal emulator, how can I do this? It feels like there must be some kind of switch to revert back to the old output style.

@phil-s to be clear this output actually comes from docker and not from lando. that said i believe it is configurable on the docker with something like this:

export BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain

FWIW, Lando 4 services, which we are starting to roll out will show the full build output when you use --debug or -vvv. If you are interested in seeing what that looks like you can lando start --debug this example: https://github.com/lando/core/tree/4916109f946d435d4c3f1ee5f99da4221823176f/examples/l337

Ah, that's excellent. I can confirm that BUILDKIT_PROGRESS=plain resolves my problem. Thank you for that (and for the clarification). The debug/verbose behaviour for lando 4 services also sounds perfect.
