[Request] Hide the JUnit Callstack from the stacktrace #1281

Closed

Description

There are (few, but there are) cases in which I'd like to take a look at the callstack for a failed (as opposed errored) test. Mainly when using assertThrows. However I would like to have it shortened by default so that in the simplest case every line starting with at org.junit is replaced with the ... X more lines just like the end is shortened right now.

I'd be satisfied with a setting like "shorten lines matching this regex from the stack trace".

For example when assertThrows fails, because instead of ExpectedException I got DifferentException, I'd love the output to look like

org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: Unexpected exception type thrown ==> expected: <org.example.ExpectedException> but was: <org.example.DifferentException>
    at org.junit.jupiter.api.AssertThrows.assertThrows(AssertThrows.java:65)
    ... 70 more lines
Caused by: org.example.DifferentException: Message
    at x
    at y
    at z
