Peter Wessels commented on SUREFIRE-1887:
-----------------------------------------
After some investigation, we found that
[trimStackTrace|https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#trimStackTrace]
can be used to shorten the stacktrace. However, this option is disabled by
default. Which makes sense because often users needs more information than the
lines within the test.
We propose to improve to change the implementation of this feature to include
more relevant lines and make enable this option by default.
> Test Failures should not dump stack.

> Key: SUREFIRE-1887
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1887
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Assignee: Maarten Mulders
> Priority: Major
>
> Typical failing test output from the Maven surefire plugin dumps a lot of
> internal state. This is incorrect.
>
> The purpose of the surefire plugin is to run the user's tests. These tests
> are expected to fail much of the time. This a normal state. The test failure
> should be reported, but this is in no way a failure of surefire itself. There
> is no reason surefire should print its own stack. Indeed, this simply
> obscures the real failure in the user's own code.
