Is it possible to get a log file when installing a game with nine?

[josue2363]

Is it possible to get the output and generate a log file when installing a game with nine? I've tried many variations to get a log with download information with nine, like:

./nile install "amzn1.adg.product.5d35cae7-39d1-4e53-ba92-36004c4a5211" > ~/log-file.log

or

./nile install "amzn1.adg.product.5d35cae7-39d1-4e53-ba92-36004c4a5211" > ~/log-file.log 2>&1

and

./nile install "amzn1.adg.product.5d35cae7-39d1-4e53-ba92-36004c4a5211" 2>&1 | (pv -n > ~/log-file.log)

I also tried something like:

script -q -c "./nile install "amzn1.adg.product.5d35cae7-39d1-4e53-ba92-36004c4a5211" | (pv -n > ~/log-file.log) 2>&1

As you can see, I've already tried everything and the only things I see in the log file is the following:

INFO [CLI]: Found: Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition INFO [DOWNLOAD]: Generating patches, this might take a second...

Am I doing something wrong or can nile not save its output to a simple log file?

I'm pretty sure the progress should get logged properly as part of stderr. The patches thing may take a bit depending on the number of game files. Are you patient enough?

Did you do a test to see if the same thing happens to you using one of the examples I gave previously? This works with legendary, but not with nile. So I need to know if I'm doing something wrong.

I just tested it and....

./nile install amzn1.adg.product.33c7e483-297f-48ef-95ba-411ff59ca701 &> test.log

$ head test.log

Okay, thanks for helping me.

You were right, I had to wait for the patches. After waiting for patches, the log started to be generated in real time. That was all I needed to capture the download progress.
