Tibor Digana updated SUREFIRE-1992:
-----------------------------------
    Issue Type: Improvement  (was: Task)

> Increase output length of test errors/failures in summary
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
>                 Key: SUREFIRE-1992
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1992
>             Project: Maven Surefire
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Markus Spann
>            Priority: Minor

> A {{StackTraceWriter}} writes test failures and errors to stderr. The output 
> is abbreviated to 78 characters and suffixed by three dots. It is often 
> difficult if not impossible to quickly understand the test failure due to 
> this abbreviation.
> This JUnit5 test:
> {code:java}
> class FailingTest {
>     @Test
>     void throwsRTException() {
>         throw new 
> RuntimeException("123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.123456789.");
>     }
> } 
> {code}
> results in this output:
> {code:java}
> [INFO] 
> [INFO] Results:
> [INFO] 
> [ERROR] Errors: 
> [ERROR]   FailingTest.throwsRTException:12 Runtime 
> 123456789.123456789.123456789.1234567...
> [INFO] 
> [ERROR] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Skipped: 0{code}
> The abbreviation is done in class {{SmartStackTraceParser}} (and/or 
> {{{}LegacyPojoStackTraceWriter{}}}). Both have:
> {code:java}
> MAX_LINE_LENGTH = 77{code}
> The actual output is 78 characters long ;)
> This behavior is true for all errors/failures except:
> AssertionError, AssertionFailedError, ComparisonFailure and org.opentest4j.*
> Why these should receive special treatment is not obvious.
