Writing the build.ps1 console output to a specific log file - powershell

Question

I am using cake script to build my application. While the build process all the logging informations are displayed in the console. I want to write all the console output into a specific log file in the same path where the build.ps1 is located.
Build process is like, from gitlab-ci a particular bat file will be called. That bat file will get necessary build informations and build.ps1 will be called as below.
call start /wait /i cmd /c powershell.exe -Command %PSFILE_PATH% --rebrand="app_name"
pause
[PSFILE_PATH - will have the build.ps1 file path with file name.
eg: "F:\Build\app_name\build.ps1"]
Info: I have tried using ".\build.ps1 > output.log" this works while running the build in my local machine. But, in my application build process(via gitlab-ci runner) I'm unable to use this command.
Please suggest a way(other than ".\build.ps1 > output.log") to log all the outputs printed in the console into a file while running build.ps1.
Thanks in advance.

You can persist this information from the Gitlab-ci build by saving it as an artifact. Just add this to your job's description in the gitlab-ci.yml:
artifacts:
name: 'Build output' # or whatever
when: always # or on_success/on_failure depending on your use case
paths:
- output.log
expire_in: 1 day # or 4 hours or however long you want to keep it stored
This way you can look at the output.log file via pipelines > your pipeline > artifacts.
