When using BuildKit with Docker, how do I see the output of RUN commands?

Question

When building Docker images with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1, there is a very cool progress indicator but no command output. How do I see the command output to debug my build?

Answer 1

Have you tried --progress=plain?

Example:

FROM alpine
RUN ps aux

Relative output of DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build --progress=plain -t test_buildkit .:
