Build log for local packages not stored in file?

[mouse07410]

Describe the bug
Regardless of what arguments I give in cabal command line or ~/.cabal/config file, verbose build log of my project does not get written to a file.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Edited ~/.cabal/config to set build-log: $pkgid.log (no effect)

$ cabal v2-build --verbose

Expected verbose output shows on the console - but not in a file.

Note: (local) project files do not specify anything regarding logs. My goal is to have a global default that controls it, allowing individual projects/packages to bother specifying logging explicitly only when default is not acceptable.

Expected behavior
File stepic-tests.log (as the project is named stepic-tests and builds only one package) stored somewhere, either in ~/.cabal/logs/ or in ./dist-newbuild/.

System information

• Operating system: macOS Monterey 12.5.1
• cabal, ghc versions: Cabal-3.8.1.0, GHC-9.2.4

Closing as a dup.
