Question

Is there any way to force Scala interpreter (started through SBT) to print complete stack trace. By default, less than 10 lines are displayed:

scala> new CacheMonitoringClient
javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: com.bea:Name=DomainRuntimeService,Type=weblogic.management.beanservers.domainrun
time.DomainRuntimeServiceMBean
        at weblogic.rjvm.ResponseImpl.unmarshalReturn(ResponseImpl.java:195)
        at weblogic.rmi.internal.BasicRemoteRef.invoke(BasicRemoteRef.java:224)
        at javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl_921_WLStub.getAttribute(Unknown Source)
        at weblogic.management.remote.common.RMIConnectionWrapper$11.run(ClientProviderBase.java:498)

        at weblogic.security.Security.runAs(Security.java:61)
        at weblogic.management.remote.common.RMIConnectionWrapper.getAttribute(ClientProviderBas...

As a workaround I’m using try { new CacheMonitoringClient } catch { case ex => ex.printStackTrace} (explicitly wrapping the calls that throw the exceptions I’m interested in), but that really ugly…

Use lastException if you want just one thing:

Or set settings.maxPrintString to 0, though that will change how normal results are printed too.

scala> settings.maxPrintString = 0

scala> 1 /0
