Full disclaimer this repo is all very new to me and I had a lot of robot help that I tried to double check and verify along the way.

Fixes historical netlify logs --source deploy, which returned 404 Not Found.

Reported in Slack.

Root cause

  • fetchDeployHistoricalLogs requested ${apiBase}/api/v1/deploys/:id/log.
  • apiBase already ends in /api/v1 (double prefix), and that REST endpoint does not exist
  • Build logs are only served over the socketeer websocket (the transport --follow already uses).

Before / After

Before After
logs --source deploy --since 1h 404 Not Found Streams the deploy's build log
Transport non-existent REST endpoint socketeer websocket
Deploy selection (--source deploy) latest ready only latest of any state
Failed-build logs unreachable --deploy <id>, or auto-selected when latest
Targeting a specific deploy -d, --deploy <id> shows the full build log

How to test

# full failed build log — no --since needed
netlify logs --source deploy --deploy <FAILED_DEPLOY_ID>
# auto-selects the latest deploy, even if it failed
netlify logs --source deploy --since 24h
# unit
npm exec vitest -- run tests/unit/commands/logs/

Tested against real infra

--deploy <failed-id> returned the full 1311-line failed build log incl. the failure reason:

[🚀 deploy] ... INFO ** ERROR **
[🚀 deploy] ... INFO The following serverless functions failed to deploy: palette-agent.spec
[🚀 deploy] ... INFO Failed during stage 'building site': Command was cancelled
[🚀 deploy] ... INFO Failing build: Failed to build site
  • Socketeer replay confirmed for finished deploys: failed = 1311 lines, successful = 1126 lines, all timestamped, clean close.
  • --deploy … --since 1m → window ignored, full log returned.
  • --source deploy --since 24h → auto-selects latest deploy (1125 lines).
  • Guards: invalid --deploy and --deploy + --url both error.
  • 11 unit tests, typecheck, lint, build all pass.

⚠️ Behavior change: --source deploy now shows the latest deploy even if it failed (previously only the last successful one).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

`netlify logs --source deploy` (historical) always 404'd: it called
`${apiBase}/api/v1/deploys/:id/log`, which both double-prefixed `/api/v1`
(apiBase already ends in it) and targeted a REST endpoint that does not
exist. Rewrite the historical deploy source to replay stored build logs
over the socketeer websocket, the same transport the working `--follow`
path and the deploy UI use.

Also make failed builds reachable: `--source deploy` now auto-selects the
latest deploy of any state, add a `--deploy <id>` flag to target a
specific deploy (including failed builds), and show the full build log
when a deploy is explicitly targeted instead of applying the time window.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • View logs for a specific deploy using its deploy ID, including failed deploys.
    • Follow live logs for a targeted deploy.
    • Improved selection and display for targeted and latest deploy logs.
    • Added validation preventing deploy ID and URL filters from being used together.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved timestamp handling and filtering.
    • Safely handles malformed log messages and completed connections.
  • Documentation

    • Added usage guidance and an example for the deploy log option.

Walkthrough

The logs command accepts --deploy for explicit deploy selection and rejects its use with --url. Deploy history uses WebSocket replay with shared payload parsing, timestamp filtering, timeout handling, and build completion detection. Unit tests cover retrieval, selection, malformed messages, socket closure, and live streaming. Documentation includes the new option and an example.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to aaeac

This change restores historical deploy-log retrieval over the existing websocket transport and adds deploy targeting while preserving validated command behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

`--follow --source deploy --deploy <id>` ignored the requested deploy:
runFollowMode always streamed the current building deploy, so a finished
deploy produced no output. Stream the explicitly targeted deploy directly
(socketeer replays finished deploys and streams live ones), keeping the
building-deploy behaviour only when no deploy was explicitly targeted.

Reuse a single parser for both the historical and live websocket paths
that rejects invalid JSON and non-object frames (a `null` payload
previously crashed the historical handler on isEndOfBuild). Reject the
replay promise on socket error instead of resolving with partial results,
so a failed connection surfaces to the caller rather than looking like an
empty log. Run oxfmt on the touched files.

--deploy targets a specific deploy and shows its full build log, so the
--since window has no effect. Remove it from the example to avoid implying
otherwise.

Writing this out partly for my own understanding... 😰

So, before this PR, netlify logs (as of a few months ago) supports a --source <source> which allows logs to be filtered to a given type ("source"):

  1. deploy: build/deploy logs
  2. functions: Netlify Functions runtime logs
  3. edge-functions: Netlify Edge Functions runtime logs

With or without --source, you can also filter logs a few other ways:

  • --function <name>: filter to a named function
    • This implicity sets and is only compatible with --source functions
  • --edge-function <name>: filter to a named edge function
    • This implicity sets and is only compatible with --source edge-functions
  • --url <url>: filter to the deploy ID resolved from this URL
    • This filters logs across all (possibly filtered) sources by deploy ID.
  • --since, --until, --level: obvious

So, in summary, --url is a mechanism to specify a deploy, but it does not only support nor does it imply only the deploy source.

Finally, one more complexity: historical vs. live logs.

  • By default, historical mode is used. It looks up historical logs across all selected sources and filters.
  • --follow selects live mode instead. It streams logs in real time across all selected sources and filters (but --since and --until are not supported).
  • You cannot request both historical and live logs in one command.

Hopefully I got all that right. Now, issues this PR attempts to solve:

  1. bug: --source deploy without --follow doesn't work at all!
  • This was using an invalid api.netlify.com/api/v1/api/v1/deploys/<id>/log endpoint. But even stripping the duplicated api/v1/ is still invalid. The endpoint just doesn't exist 🙃. This needs to use the websocket endpoint. It replays and follows. That's what netlify logs:deploy always used. We just got it wrong in this new code path. This PR fixes this.
  1. feature: it would be nice if you could specify --deploy <deploy id> as an alternative to --url <url>.
  • This PR implements this.
  • To be clear, despite --function <name> implying --source functions and --edge-function <name> implying --source edge-functions, --deploy <id> would not imply --source deploy. I think this is pretty confusing, both for humans and for agents. I'm not sure it's very avoidable though. We should document this clearly. We could alternatively make this --deploy-id <id>.
  1. bug: --source deploy without --url (or now --deploy) automatically selected the latest deploy but skipped over failed deploys.
  • This PR fixes this.
  1. bug: --source deploy --follow --url <url> silently ignores the resolved deploy from the given URL 😓; uses the "find the latest deploy" behaviour instead.

Whew.

I believe there is also one additional change in this PR:

  1. --source deploy with --url or --deploy now quietly ignores --since and --until
  • I can see the idea here, but I'm not sure. Personally I would rather keep this as is.

Given all this, here's my take:

  • I would much prefer breaking this out into smaller, atomic PRs (could be a stack). We have three separate bugs and a feature and I believe they're all independent. I think this will be a lot easier to review now and to understand in the future. (I would argue the refactoring/hardening of the deploy logs parsing stuff can/should be in the PR for No Manual Entry #1, btw.)
  • I may have missed the reasoning, but I would propose we skip Permalink is displayed after deployment (along with the alias URL). #5.
  • This is amazing, thank you for digging into and fixing all this!
