How to see untrimmed logs on Heroku Local

Question

I'm running a NodeJS app on heroku local, however all my console.log statements and error messages get trimmed.

For example:

forego | starting web.1 on port 5000
web.1  | module.js:339

I don't see the full error logs. How to avoid this trimming of error messages?

Did you manage to find a solution for this? – Montoya

BTW, you can start the app without heroku using something like node bin/www and see the output there. – Montoya

@Montoya But what about environment variables that heroku local provides? – Micheal

They have to be simulated in this case regretfully. This is why this was not submitted as an answer but as a comment. – Montoya

Answer 1

heroku local will run whatever processes you tell it to in the Procfile. If you'd like to stream your development log, simply add something like log: tail -f log/development.log to your Procfile. You'll also want to make sure that you create a second Procfile (I use Procfile.dev) for this. Replace the log file path with wherever your desired log file is located.

Answer 2

Did you try?

$ heroku help local

Source: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-local

Is this deployed already? If so:

On terminal/bash:

$ heroku logs

On your heroku account:

1) Go to you account and then apps and then the log for that app
