Why doesn't this command give me logs?

Questions / Help

I’m trying to deploy my first app on fly and it has crashed. I’d like to see logs to figure out why.

Following these instructions I typed flyctl builds logs --app "my-app-name" (which is something like fancy-dingo-1234), but it says:

Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 0
Usage:
  flyctl builds logs [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --app string      App name to operate on
  -c, --config string   Path to an app config file or directory containing one (default "./fly.toml")
  -h, --help            help for logs

Global Flags:
  -t, --access-token string   Fly API Access Token
  -j, --json                  json output
  -v, --verbose               verbose output

Error accepts 1 arg(s), received 0

I’m probably doing something dumb but I don’t see it.

That command gives you build logs for apps that deploy from Heroku. Normal build & deploy logs are streamed while running flyctl deploy so there isn’t a command for them. And logs from running apps can be viewed with flyctl logs. Does that help?

Thanks for your help!

Hmm, I don’t see Heroku mentioned on that page, but OK. :slight_smile:

Ah, yes, I saw the docker build and such there.

logs from running apps can be viewed with flyctl logs .

That’s what I needed - now I can see the crash. Thanks! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
