cargo test -- --nocapture not giving desired output

[fringe kelp]

Hi! Noob here testing out soroban. I am currently in Getting started - 3. Storing data, working on the incrementor. When i 'cargo test -- --nocapture' I do not get the output shown in docs, but rather:

running 1 test
Writing test snapshot file for test "test::increment" to "test_snapshots/test/increment.1.json".
test test::increment ... ok

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I pinged you in general. Probably won't be helpful but check it out.

Thanks for the help! However, the AI didn't quite get it 😁 the problem is I do have log! command but it still wont show even if I use --nocapture

What version of soroban-sdk do you have in cargo.toml?

[maiden vale]

thanks for the feedback!

I have version 20.0.0

Everything should be as is in the soroban documentation "getting started".

I was also checking the documentation about logging and I have the

[profile.release-with-logs]
inherits = "release"
debug-assertions = true

section in the projects cargo file

Ah I see

In the test.rs from that example, I don't see anything that I think would print

Let me try to run it.

Regardless, I'd recommend to use the latest version of soroban-sdk, as 20.0.0 is not compatible with testnet I think (yes, the docs need to be updated)

Isn't the 'log!(&env, "count: {}", count);' from lib.rs what's supposed to print when the test runs the three loops of function 'increment'? Run it and see, and thank you for helping! I changed sdk to latest version! 🙂

Yes I see that now

I use std::println!("") macros in my tests, those do get printed to the terminal. I never mastered log!

I'll see if I can find something

Oh to be honest that's a good tip to get going, thank you! I just need some visual to see what my code is actually doing 😄 But eventually it would be nice to use the log rather than std println.

It seems something's changed about how logs work I think

https://soroban.stellar.org/docs/tutorials/logging#using-the-log-macro

There was this discussion on October, and the above page uses println!() to print the logs eventually
https://github.com/stellar/rs-soroban-env/issues/1093

Adding the below to test.rs does output log results:

extern crate std;
use std::println;
use soroban_sdk::{testutils::Logs, Env};

let logs = env.logs().all();
std::println!("{}", logs.join("\n"));

But that does not seem the simplest way to achieve it
