How to force interpreter show complete stack trace?

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>         


        

Answer 1

Have you tried

trace on

in SBT before entering the console? On is the default, but perhaps it is being overwritten in your case.

Answer 2

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
