-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Surefire trims too much stack, with trimStackTrace=true
                 Key: SUREFIRE-992
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-992
             Project: Maven Surefire
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
    Affects Versions: 2.14.1
         Environment: geb, selenium, spock, groovy, mvn 3.0.5, linux
            Reporter: Christopher Mosher
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: mvn_stacktrace.tar.gz, typescript

With trimStackTrace=true, surefire trims too much of the stack, at least in some cases. In particular, selenium generates a particularly long and interesting stack trace, and surefire trims away all the useful information, including the stack frame of the test itself, which is the most important piece of information.

In the attached project (mvn_stacktrace.tar.gz), use "mvn test" to see the trimmed stack trace (it uses Firefox to run the test). Running with "mvn -DtrimStackTrace=false test" shows the full stack trace, including the vital line "at StackTraceTest.stackTraceTest(StackTraceTest.groovy:8)" which was trimmed during the first run.

See an attached typescript of a session showing both runs.
