Guidance on modifying buster to filter AssertionError stacktrace

[lgtout]

If I wanted to modify Buster such that, when an AssertionError occurs, the only lines shown in the stack trace output would be lines belonging to the "thing" being tested, or the test itself (filtering out all lines referencing buster or assertion framework code), where would I look in the buster source? Thanks much!

Please have a look at http://docs.busterjs.org/en/latest/modules/buster-test/stack-filter/

@jaabio, what is the current state? Have you made any progress?

@dwittner

thanks for following up. i did take a look at the buster-test stack filter.

is it possible that the docs at the url you provided are out of date? i only had the buster npm package installed, so i installed the buster-test npm package to try out the instructions in the docs. (was that necessary, or is there some way of getting a reference to stackFilter with only the buster npm package installed?) it appears there is no longer a stackFilter field on buster-test. does that sound right?

@dwittner

just did some more exploring and see that buster-test is actually included as a dependency of the buster npm package, which seems to indicate that installing buster-test separately wasn't necessary. is that correct? if so, do you know how i might be able to get a reference to the stackFilter from within a node file module that contains buster tests? or is stackFilter configurable globally? thanks.

@jaabio, you are right. It seems the described way at http://docs.busterjs.org/en/latest/modules/buster-test/stack-filter/ isn't working at the moment, but it should. I will fix it asap and let you know.

Excellent. Thanks!
