Excerpt

Troubleshooting terminal-tools

Recipes for surprising results. Match the symptom to the section.

Empty `stdout` despite the command "should have" produced output

Possible causes:

Output went to stderr instead. Check stderr in the envelope (or use merge_stderr=True for jobs).
Output was fully truncated because max_output_kb is too small. Check stdout_truncated_bytes > 0. Bump max_output_kb or paginate via output_handle.
Command produced no output (correct, just unexpected — silent flags, no matches).
Pipeline issue: the last stage of a pipe ran but stdout went elsewhere (> /dev/null, redirected via 2>&1).
Process is buffering its output and didn't flush before exit. Add stdbuf -oL (line-buffered) or unbuffer to the command.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
