Description

Expected behavior

it would be nice to be able to tail the pod logs with just having deploy in skaffold.yaml and running skaffold dev. Right now this does not work just goes up to watching for changes....

Also if you are using both build and deploy if you change the code you don't get the pod logs of changed state

Actual behavior

the only way to get the tailed pod logs is if you build an image and deploy

Information

  • Skaffold version: v1.21.0
  • Operating system: 18.04.5 LTS (Bionic Beaver)
  • Installed via: skaffold.dev
  • Contents of skaffold.yaml:

apiVersion: skaffold/v2beta13 kind: Config deploy: helm: releases: - name: skaffold-helm chartPath: charts artifactOverrides: image: dockerrepo.broadbus.com:5000/skaffold-helm

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. just have deploy in skaffold.yaml file

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the log tailing logic in skaffold, specifically when deploy only mode is used. Trace the flow from skaffold dev command to the log streaming component, and identify why it doesn't start tailing logs when no build phase is present.
