Ink :: What is the right way to add the debug trace prints | ink_env::debug_println ?

Was trying ERC20 sample example from https://substrate.dev/substrate-contracts-workshop/#/2/transferring-tokens

        #[ink(message)]
        pub fn transfer(&mut self, to: AccountId, value: Balance) -> bool {
            // ACTION: Call the `transfer_from_to` with `from` as `self.env().caller()`
            let source: AccountId = self.env().caller();
            let dbg_msg = format!( "from {:#?} to {:#?}", source, to );
            ink_env::debug_println( &dbg_msg );
            self.transfer_from_to( source , to, value )
        }

With trace prints, executed the test, but can't see the trace output.

$ cargo +nightly test

By default, Rust hides the stdout of successful tests.

To override this, use the --nocapture flag when running your test:

cargo +nightly test -- --nocapture
