Display the Log Files

Explore how to identify, start, and connect to Docker containers running Selenium tests, then navigate through container directories to locate and display log files. This lesson helps you understand managing logs in a Linux-based Docker environment using bash commands.

We'll cover the following...

- Get the name of the container where the tests were executed
- Start the container
- Check that the container is up
- Connect to the container in interactive mode
- List the files from the root folder of the container
- Move to the target folder
- Display the contents of the target folder
- Move to the logs folder
- Display the files from the logs folder
- Display the contents of the trace.log file
- Practice
- - Hints

The output shows that the container exited after the tests finished.

Docker assigns randomly generated Container-Id and Name to each container. Every time you run a container, the container will randomly generate an id and name for it.

It is also possible to define the container name ...
