Redirect output from bash script

Question

I have a current bash script. echo will display all results when cmd has been finished. But I want in real time see output coming line by line when script is in execution process. How can I achieve that?

#!/bin/bash
echo $(docker build -t goapp -f deployments/dev/Dockerfile .)

docker build -t goapp -f deployments/dev/Dockerfile . >> someFile.log and tail -f someFile.log may do the trick — Fernando Martín Besteiro

docker already prints its output to standard output; that's why you can capture it with $(...) and pass it as arguments to echo. Just run docker:

#!/bin/bash
docker build -t goal -f deployments/dev/Dockerfile .

it stream all output if I execute that cmd manually in terminal but if I wrap it in bash .sh script it prints it only when cmd has been finished.

Are you still wrapping it in echo $(...)? That's the part I'm saying is unnecessary.
