Hey Lee This seems unrelated to Flyte but could be related to when Python flushes lines Would you mind changing your print statement to ```print Print flush=True ``` and set `PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1` as an environment variable to check whether that helps You should be able to set the environment variable using the `environment` keyword in the `task ` decorator

thanks i tried using `flush=true` works setting `PYTHONUNBUFFERED` wasn t required Was trying to figure out why were all the ShellTask logging unresponsive and its probably due to this <https github com flyteorg flytekit blob master flytekit extras tasks shell py L119|print> without the flush too
