[BUG] Compose up logger breaks lines at 32768 characters #10917

Description

When Compose forwards a line of output from the container, it splits the line after 32768 characters. I tested with ASCII, emoji and a Chinese character, all yielding the same result. I also tested just running the image using Docker alone and I see no line breaks.

This is causing us trouble when the logs are following a strict schema like JSON.

Steps To Reproduce

# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.7-alpine
CMD ["python", "-c", "print('x'*32769)"]
# compose.yaml
services:
  test:
    build: .
docker compose build
docker compose up

Expected output:

  • a single line containing 32769 characters.
compose-long-line-test-test-1  | xxxxx....xxxxxx
compose-long-line-test-test-1 exited with code 0

Actual output:

  • Two lines, one with 32768 characters and one with the remaining one character.
compose-long-line-test-test-1  | xxxxx....xxxxxx
compose-long-line-test-test-1  | x
compose-long-line-test-test-1 exited with code 0

Compose Version

This works as expected with Compose V1. Tested on MacOS with this version:

docker-compose version 1.29.2, build 5becea4c
docker-py version: 5.0.0
CPython version: 3.9.0
OpenSSL version: OpenSSL 1.1.1h  22 Sep 2020

The bug occurs only on V2, specifically

Docker Compose version v2.20.2-desktop.1
