The error stack trace limit is set to 10 by default in Node (v8 actually). We can, however, modify that limit by overriding Error.stackTraceLimit.
We will create a sample application and see how to achieve that:
function a() { throw new Error('stop right there mister'); }
function b() { a(); }
function c() { b(); }
function d() { c(); }
function e() { d(); }
function f() { e(); }
function g() { f(); }
function h() { g(); }
function i() { h(); }
function j() { i(); }
function k() { j(); }
function l() { k(); }
function m() { l(); }
function n() { m(); }
function o() { n(); }
function p() { o(); }
function q() { p(); }
q();The stack should look like the following code:
Error: stop right there mister
