NestJS doesn't print log messages anywhere

Question

This is how I create a logger:

private readonly logger: Logger = new Logger('Auth Resolver')

And this is how I use it:

this.logger.log('Some log message')

There is not a config or custom logging. Just trying to print a log message from a newly constructed Nest JS application. I looked through the source code of the Logger class and saw that it directs all output to process.stdout but nothing is printed to the terminal window I run the application.

Am I missing something here?

Stupid question, but you recompiled and restarted your server, right? And you're looking in the same terminal/command prompt that you used to start the server as well, correct? — Jay McDoniel, Jan 16 '20 at 14:25
In your `main.ts` do you have something like `logger: false`? — Jay McDoniel, Jan 16 '20 at 14:43
You probably have `logger: false` or `logger: [subset of logger methods - {log}]` at you logger config. — Naor Levi, Jan 16 '20 at 14:51
@ÉlodiePetit were you able to find a solution? I'm currently experiencing the same issue. Other than default Nest logging messages, my own logger messages are never printed. — BinaryButterfly, Nov 08 '20 at 04:31
@NikitaFedyashev I did nothing special. Both logger and console.log messages started appearing in the terminal window after a few runs. — Élodie Petit, Nov 11 '20 at 20:11

I was facing the same issue, but when I tried with application/x-www-form-urlencode option, it printed out the result in the terminal's console. Try sending data using the above mentioned option or by application/json.

{
    "username": "abc",
    "password": "xyz"
}

You may consider other options like multer, formidable, form-parser, and others.

I am using Tabbed Postman - REST Client chrome extension.
