09/01/2021, 2:23 PMHey there! I am having trouble logging standard out with shelltasks like you would with the task decorator. Does anyone know how you would do this?

Hey @Evan Brown, could you show me how you set up the shell task?

And in my test.py I just have some print statements.

Can you try adding
log_stdout=TrueShellTask👀 1

Do you get no logs from this whatsoever?
Add
stream_output=True Copy code
from os import path
from prefect import Flow
from prefect.tasks.shell import ShellTask
shelltask = ShellTask(
name="shell_task",
log_stderr=True,
return_all=True,
stream_output=True
)
with Flow("shelltest") as flow:
shelltask(command="echo 'test'")
flow.run()👀 1

09/01/2021, 3:15 PMDo you know if the output can be viewed in prefect cloud?
Ideally I would like to see it in the logs if possible

I think it should be. I’ve done it before.
Just tested and yes I see it
