App Platform - Following logs

Question

Reading through the doctl reference I found that it is not only possible to see the logs, but even follow them as they happen which sounds really nice.

However the command seems to be only working when I omit the –follow flag.

Working:

doctl apps logs 755ad75c-90ca-4c06-a266-XXXXXXX

Not working:

doctl apps logs 755ad75c-90ca-4c06-a266-XXXXXXX --follow

Hello. I’ve investigated this and have been able to reproduce the issue. I’ve filed a bug internally. Our engineers will investigate this issue.

Thanks for your quick response! In the meantime I was wondering if you support a feature to export all logs created?

  For build and deploy logs you can list the past deployments with doctl app list-deployments <APP-ID>. You can then get the logs via. doctl app logs --deployment <DEPLOYMENT_ID> <APP_ID>.
  
  Runtime logs are only retained for a limited time, and only while the container instance is running.

I still have this same problem. Should this be resolved? Or do we still have to wait for the fix?
