Pretty Printing Exceptions in cider-test

[rymndhng]

When I'm working with cider-test and a test throws a ex-info with a large data structure (i.e. working with prismatic.schema), it's always printed in a single line (regardless if I have pretty-printing enabled or disabled).

If we had the ability to pretty-print these objects, it would make inspecting large objects easier.

Is your issue similar to #1707 ?

I'm not sure what exactly are you suggesting that we should pretty-print.

@bbatsov Similar error, (in fact I am using schema as well).

I'm wondering if it's possible to take that exception object and pretty print it because the map object is quite big.

[bbatsov]

The problem is that this is just plain text in the exception message and here's no way to know what's a Clojure object there and what is not...

Is there a way to tell whether the exception is an ExceptionInfo object? If so, we know that it's a message followed by a map.

Clojure itself tends to be pretty consistent in using ex-info to raise exceptions.

Perhaps, I don't have any time to research this. If someone else would like to tackle it - be my guest. :-)

These days, ex-data is printed nicely:
