Binaries inside windows docker not displaying error messages

When running binaries inside a Windows Docker container, error messages might not be displayed by default in the console. This can make troubleshooting more challenging. To enable error messages to be displayed in the console, you can try the following steps:

1. Enable interactive mode: When running the Docker container, include the -it or --interactive --tty flags to enable interactive mode. This allows the container to allocate a pseudo-TTY and attach it to the console, which can display error messages.

   For example:

   arduinoCopy code
   docker run -it your_image_name
   
   

2. Check the container logs: After running the container in interactive mode, if you still don't see error messages in the console, you can check the container logs. Use the docker logs command to view the logs of a running container.

   For example:

   Copy code
   docker logs container_id
   
   

   Replace container_id with the actual ID of the running container.

3. Adjust the verbosity level: Some binaries or applications have verbosity settings that control the level of output messages. Check if the binary or application you are running has any configuration options to increase the verbosity level. This may provide more detailed error messages.

4. Redirect standard error (stderr): In some cases, error messages may be sent to the standard error stream (stderr) instead of the standard output (stdout). You can redirect stderr to stdout to ensure error messages are displayed in the console.

   For example, in a Dockerfile or during runtime, you can use the following command:

   Copy code
   your_command 2>&1
   
   

   The 2>&1 redirect stderr to stdout, combining both streams.

By following these steps, you should be able to view error messages from binaries or applications running inside a Windows Docker container. If the issue persists, ensure that the application itself is configured to display error messages to the console or logs.
