Tailing logs for google functions ? not possible ?

[codepreneur]

Right now, if I try to tail the logs I get this:

~/D/j/s/t/f/g/ner   master ±  env SLS_DEBUG=true sls logs -f ner -t
Serverless: Displaying the 10 most recent log(s):

What I like about google functions is that unlike aws it fails to deploy if you have a syntax error or dependency not declared in package.json:

 ~/D/j/s/t/f/g/ner   master ±  env SLS_DEBUG=true sls logs -f ner -t

Did you list all required modules in the package.json dependencies?

@codepreneur thanks for opening! 👍

We've not added support for log tailing yet. But it's on the roadmap for the plugin.
