Redirecting symbol to a log file when using docker tool

[pistotniks]

I am trying to redirect the logs of a docker process to a file (this normally works running it out of nuke framework)

[PathExecutable(name: "docker")] readonly Tool Docker;

  Target CreateDatabase => _ => _
    .Executes(() =>
    {
	Docker("logs --since 1m database > " + "pathtomyfile"); // Same for operator | tee
    });

But when I run that with nuke CreateDatabase this I get an error:

C:\ProgramData\DockerDesktop\version-bin\docker.exe logs --since 1m database > C:\git\myproject\build\Logs-Db.txt
"docker logs" requires exactly 1 argument.
See 'docker logs --help'.

Usage: docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

So Nuke is not too happy with this symbol > of redirection. Can somebody help me with this. Is it actually possible to redirect the logs also to a file that I can then later manipulate? Or if somebody can explain my wrong philosophy around it, since I am new to this.

As far as I understand output redirection is a feature of the command line interpreter, e.g. cmd.exe. Nuke just invokes the specified executable and using the > operator inside the arguments cannot work here.

AFAIK one way to access the output of a tool is to use its return value (of type IReadOnlyCollection<Output>):

var outputLines = Docker("logs --since 1m database");
var nonErrorLines = outputLines.Where(line => line.Type == OutputType.Std);
File.WriteAllLines("pathtomyfile", nonErrorLines.Select(line => line.Text));

This is beautiful.
