How to get list of all emitted events in truffle console?

Question

I wrote a very simple smart contract which emits an event everytime I call one of its functions:

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

contract MyContract {

    event Score(
        uint date,
        string player,
        string team
    );

    function goalScored(string memory _player, string memory _team) external {
        emit Score(block.timestamp, _player, _team);
    }
}

Then I deploy the contract using truffle migrate. Finally I interact with the contract within the truffle console. To do so I therefore load the contract by using the following lines of code:

MyContract.deployed().then(function(i) { contract=i;})
contract.goalScored('messi','inter')

Basically everytime Messi scores against a team a I launch the function to emit an Score event.

Here is my question: how can I visualize the list of all events within the truffle console?

What I tried: I ran the goalScored() function 4 times with different inputs and then I tried to used the following command:

contract.allEvents()

But all I got was this:

EventEmitter {
  _events: [Object: null prototype] {},
  _eventsCount: 0,
  _maxListeners: undefined,
  [Symbol(kCapture)]: false
}
truffle(development)> Uncaught [Error: The current provider doesn't support subscriptions: HttpProvider] {
  domainEmitter: EventEmitter {
    _events: [Object: null prototype] {},
    _eventsCount: 0,
    _maxListeners: undefined,
    [Symbol(kCapture)]: false
  },
  domainThrown: false
}

Would you be able to suggest a smart and elegant way to achieve my goal?

Answer 1

from truffle develop you could try something like

let c = await MyContract.deployed()
await c.goalScored('a','b')
let events = await c.getPastEvents('Score',{ fromBlock:0, toBlock:'latest'})
events

furthermore, if you need ALL events, you could use

c.getPastEvents('allEvents',{ fromBlock:0, toBlock:'latest'})

full truffle develop input:

migrate 
let c = await Messi.deployed()
await c.goalScored('first','inter')
await c.getPastEvents('allEvents',{fromBlock:0})

example output:
