[jira] [Created] (STORM-2767) Surefire now truncates too much of the stack trace

Stig Rohde Døssing created STORM-2767:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Surefire now truncates too much of the stack trace
                 Key: STORM-2767
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2767
             Project: Apache Storm
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Stig Rohde Døssing
            Assignee: Stig Rohde Døssing
            Priority: Minor


Surefire is truncating so much of the stack trace when tests fail that we often can't easily spot the error. As an example I manually threw an NPE from storm-kafka-client's KafkaSpout.commit() method, and here are the stack traces with trimStackTrace enabled and disabled:

trimmed
{code}
testCommitSuccessWithOffsetVoids(org.apache.storm.kafka.spout.KafkaSpoutCommitTest)  Time elapsed: 0.714 sec  <<< ERROR!
java.lang.NullPointerException: This is an NPE from inside nextTuple
	at org.apache.storm.kafka.spout.KafkaSpoutCommitTest.testCommitSuccessWithOffsetVoids(KafkaSpoutCommitTest.java:87)
{code}

not trimmed
{code}

{code}

Note how the trimmed stack trace is also removing the trace lines from inside KafkaSpout.

As part of fixing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2734 we upgraded to Surefire 2.19.1. It seems like 2.19 switched to a different interpretation of trimStackTrace, which trims all lines outside the test. It's my impression that it used to only trim lines before the trace reached a line inside the test. Going by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1226?focusedCommentId=15140710&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-15140710, this change seems intentional.

We should either downgrade Surefire, or disable stack trace trimming.
