Research direction

Start at the CLI path triggered when the s key is pressed, then trace how resource logs are selected and streamed to stdout. No file or test is named in the issue, so first identify the relevant CLI entry point and existing log tests. Done should provide a way to choose which resource logs appear while preserving the current behavior when no filter is configured.

Description

enhancement

Describe the Feature You Want

I'm currently doing TDD on a codebase which makes use of an API with a rather noisy log output. It would be nice if I could choose to only stream the log output of my tests in the terminal.

Current Behavior

All resource logs are printed to stdout when the s key is pressed in the CLI.

Why Do You Want This?
  • I have a codebase (A) which calls an API (B)
  • A and B both use tilt
  • In A's tiltfile, I clone B into a temporary directory and include B's tilt file so that both boot up in my local kubernetes cluster
  • I configure A's ConfigMap to send A's API requests to B
  • A runs its tests whenever a live update happens, resulting in API calls to B.
  • Tilt prints the log output of both A and B, producing a rather chaotic output
  • I prefer to have a terminal with my tests running next to (or inside) my editor while doing TDD.
