[BUG] Broken terminal behavior in PyCharm

[doctornkz-intelas]

Description

I am using JetBrains PyCharm+Gateway for remote development. I am using an internal Pycharm terminal. Today I found that the latest version of docker-compose 2.32.4 is printing w Enable Watch message over my outputs. Take a look (v2.32.4):

w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
w Enable Watch
nginx_server  | 172.19.0.1 - - [28/Jan/2025:19:48:51 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 615 "-" "curl/7.81.0" "-"
nginx_server  | 172.19.0.1 - - [28/Jan/2025:19:48:53 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 615 "-" "curl/7.81.0" "-"

I see only the last 2 lines and others are masked by w Enable Watch
Using 2.30.0 version - It works perfectly:

nginx_server  | 172.19.0.1 - - [28/Jan/2025:19:49:42 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 615 "-" "curl/7.81.0" "-"

w Enable Watch

It breaks user experience extremely - you can't debug STDOUT at all. Do we have any suggestions or something I overlooked?

Thank you!

Steps To Reproduce

Run Pycharm and create a simple config file, like this:

version: '3.9'

services:
  nginx:
    image: nginx:latest
    container_name: nginx_server
    ports:
      - "9999:80" # Maps port 9999 on your host to port 80 in the container
    restart: unless-stopped

To spawn logs, run command in the same Linux machine, or container - watch curl localhost:9999

Install version 2.30.0, for example, and run it from the internal PyCharm terminal:

$ docker compose up
WARN[0000] /*****docker-compose.yml: the attribute `version` is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion 
[+] Running 1/0
 ✔ Container nginx_server  Created                                                                                                                           0.0s 
Attaching to nginx_server
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: /docker-entrypoint.d/ is not empty, will attempt to perform configuration
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: Looking for shell scripts in /docker-entrypoint.d/
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: Launching /docker-entrypoint.d/10-listen-on-ipv6-by-default.sh
nginx_server  | 10-listen-on-ipv6-by-default.sh: info: IPv6 listen already enabled
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: Sourcing /docker-entrypoint.d/15-local-resolvers.envsh
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: Launching /docker-entrypoint.d/20-envsubst-on-templates.sh
nginx_server  | /docker-entrypoint.sh: Launching /docker-entrypoint.d/30-tune-worker-processes.sh

Works perfectly!

Install version 2.32.4 and run the same manifest:

$ docker compose up
WARN[0000] /****docker-compose.yml: the attribute `version` is obsolete, it will be ignored, please remove it to avoid potential confusion 
[+] Running 1/1

We are getting the mess of the lines.

Anything else?

No response

Not sure about the root cause, but you can disable this by running with COMPOSE_MENU=false environment variable set

[doctornkz-intelas]

@ndeloof Thank you, sir!
I can't reproduce the issue anymore, in the case it appears, I will use env from @ndeloof , closing issue

[vpatov]

We are also experiencing this issue all of a sudden, with (w Enable Watch or w Disable Watch) + newline at the beggining of every single STDOUT line, which makes reading logs much harder.

Setting COMPOSE_MENU=false as per @ndeloof suggestion resolves the issue, but it does seem like there is some underlying bug that should be addressed.

[doctornkz-intelas]

So, it's reproducible, and not only our issue. Thank you, @vpatov for the update!
