Cannot write the output made by npm install to a file in Linux

Time:09-18

I am not able to show the output of the package installation progress bar to the file. The others get printed pretty correctly.

I tried redirecting the stderr to stdout and then writing but none of them helped. This was happening with yarn as well.

This is the output that I am seeing in the file:

> @nestjs/[email protected] postinstall node_modules/@nestjs/core
> opencollective || exit 0

CodePudding user response:

You can do it with the following command:

npm i react-leaflet -ddd 2>&1 | tee npm-install.log

or if you want to capture colorized output, which is e.g. helpful to differentiate the output of log levels:

script -q -c "npm i react-leaflet -ddd" npm-install.log
cat npm-install.log

Use log level flag according to your requirement:

-d   == --loglevel info
-dd  == --loglevel verbose 
-ddd == --loglevel silly
