foreman only shows line with “started with pid #” and nothing else

Question

When I run foreman I get the following:

 > foreman start
 16:47:56 web.1     | started with pid 27122

Only if I stop it (via ctrl-c) it

Answer 1

"Foreman will display to the terminal output anything written to stdout by the processes it launches." - ddollar See foreman-issues#57

BTW, you can use tailf into Procfile to see logs

web: bundle exec rails server thin -p $PORT
log: tail -f log/development.log

Tip: tailf doesn't exist in OSX, using tail -f -n 40 log/development.log works.
