Drone log view gives an invalid syntax error

Hello,

When I do drone log view repo/project it produce strconv.Atoi: parsing "": invalid syntax. I did a drone log purge but it does the same. It’s the same for other repos.

this indicates you are missing required build, stage or step number arguments, or that you have provided an argument that is not a number.

$ drone log view --help
NAME:
   drone log view - display the step logs

USAGE:
   drone log view <repo/name> <build> <stage> <step>

If you continue to experience issues you can analyze the code at https://github.com/drone/drone-cli/blob/master/drone/log/log_view.go

Thanks, my bad. I didn’t read the help enough.

I suppose the log message can be improved to say than some arguments are missing.

I struggled with this command as well.

Here is a valid syntax:
drone log view octocat/hello-world 271 1 1

  • build, stage and step are integer IDs.
  • build number, you can find with drone build ls octocat/hello-world
  • stage and step start at 1 and you have to count from your .drone.yaml file (if you know a way to find it from drone-cli I’m interested).
