Method Details

isSkip

public boolean isSkip()

Flag if the current exception marks a skipped method (true) or a failure ( false). By default Subclasses should override this method in order to provide smarter behavior.

Subclasses may use this method to reduce the printed stack trace. This method keeps only the last frame. Important: after calling this method the preserved internally and can be restored called restoreStackTrace().

restoreStackTrace

protected void restoreStackTrace()

Restores the original exception stack trace after a previous call to reduceStackTrace().
