Hide Console Launcher stack trace in case of failures

[scordio]

We have a Console Launcher based application that executes several tests against a remote device and checks its configuration parameters, failing with assertion errors if any of these parameters do not match the expected values.

The tree output of the console launcher provides already all the needed information to analyze failures, i.e., the ❌ next to the test name and the assertion error message. However, each test failure triggers also the printing of a stack trace, appended after the tree output.

Is there a way to hide the stack trace and keep only the tree output? I couldn't find any viable options at https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#running-tests-console-launcher-options but maybe I overlooked something.

No.

No, there's none.

A tweak to TreePrinter::printThrowable would be required to achieve that. Something in the line of:

	private void printThrowable(String indent, TestExecutionResult result) {
		if (result.getThrowable().isEmpty() || _HIDE_STACKTRACE_) {
			return;
		}
		...
	}
