Django docker logging

Question

I am running docker on my Mac. I am having an issue with my views.py and I am trying to print out to the Mac docker desktop some messages to try to debug my code. I have followed

Django and docker: outputting information to console

and it doesn't seem to work for me. The only thing that gets printed out to the docker desktop logs is just errors when they occur, Normally all I get is just the 200 ok from the http request. I have used the print statement and the info statement and neither of them print out.

# Create your views here.

def load_index(request):

    return render(request, 'index.html')


def login(request):
    logger.info('in login from logger\n')
    return render(request, 'login.html')

def login_validator(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        print(f"method is post")
        logger.info('in login validator')

    print("returning in login validator")
    return render(request, 'index.html')

Not sure why I am not able to see the logs on the Docker console, but as a workaround stdout.write works. Removed all the log stuff from the settings.py and added the following to the views.py file.

import sys

sys.stdout.write("Message goes here. \n")

in the docker console I am now able to see the messages.
