Consider redirect the test stack trace into the debug console

[jkryanchou]

I run a test case raise a exception on stack trace in the test report while I could not see the whole filename on it. While in the IDEA, I could see the whole stack trace. in de debug console.
Could author redirect the stack trace into the debug console? it also could navigate the stack trace file through the debug console panel.

There is a scroll bar at the bottom of the view.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo I knew this is a up-down scroll bar, while I couldn't see the right part which show the exact line of file. the stack trace show the whole information of exceptions or omit some part.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo Is there any settings I could configure redirect the exception into DEBUG CONSOLE. or Output. I could view the whole stack trace info.

[jdneo]

Sorry there is no such setting for now. Will consider to add the ability to redirect it into debug console.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo Would the feature release in next version? Be eager to see the feature in next release. Because there is no other way to help me out within the VSCode.

[jkryanchou]

1. Redirect to the Debug Console
2. The stack trace file could be clickable to the file location such as DEBUG CONSOLE panel.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo Could it be released in 0.22.0?

[jdneo]

I cannot say a definite time or version of when this feature get released for now. But it's on our radar.

Meanwhile, if you want to contribute for this feature, you can just send out the PR.

Thanks.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo I got it. If time available. I will.

[jdneo]

Thanks @jkryanchou,

IMO, I prefer to support navigate from the stacktrace instead of redirect the output into the debug console, since it will ruin the program's own output.

If you want to implement navigating from the stacktrace, here is a reference of the debugger's Java implementation: https://github.com/microsoft/java-debug/blob/ac7d26bcfd5736f2cabd93f2bc065aa8ff302088/com.microsoft.java.debug.core/src/main/java/com/microsoft/java/debug/core/adapter/handler/LaunchRequestHandler.java#L256-L280

Meanwhile, I'll ask the team if it is possible to let either Debugger or Language Server to expose the related API for navigating from the stacktrace. If we have this API, things would be much easier.

[jdneo]

Related issue in language server eclipse-jdtls/eclipse.jdt.ls#1202

If we have this API in language server, both Debugger and Test Runner can leverage it.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo Got it. Thanks. If I could navigate the traceback in DEBUG Console. it could be link to the proper file location easily.

[jdneo]

@jkryanchou I still not prefer redirecting the stacktrace to debug console. This will ruin the program's output. We should enable the feature in the test report.

[jkryanchou]

@jdneo OK.

[jdneo]

Now it's supported to navigate from stracktrace to source location in 0.26.0 (with Language Support for Java(TM) by Red Hat upgrade to 0.70.0).

Is this solved your problem @jkryanchou?
