Returns an exception of the same class with failedExceptionStackDepth set to 0 and all frames above this stack depth severed off. This can be useful when working with tools (such as IDEs) that do not directly support ScalaTest. (Tools that directly support ScalaTest can use the stack depth information delivered in the StackDepth exceptions.)

An optional cause, the Throwable that caused this StackDepth exception to be thrown.

Indicates whether this object is equal to the passed object. If the passed object is a StackDepthException, equality requires equal message, cause, and failedCodeStackDepth fields, as well as equal return values of getStackTrace.

A string that provides the filename of the line of code that failed, suitable for presenting to a user, which is taken from this exception's StackTraceElement at the depth specified by failedCodeStackDepth.

This is a def instead of a val because exceptions are mutable: their stack trace can be changed after the exception is created. This is done, for example, by the SeveredStackTraces trait.

A string that provides the filename and line number of the line of code that failed, suitable for presenting to a user of the failing line. It calls failedCodeFileName and failedCodeLineNumber to get the failing filename and line number.

failedCodeFileName and failedCodeLineNumber will fall back to exception stack trace when Position is not avaiable, this is the reason it is a def instead of a val, because exceptions are mutable: their stack trace can be changed after the exception is created. This is done, for example, by the SeveredStackTraces trait.

A string that provides the full pathname of the source file containing the line of code that failed, suitable for presenting to a user.

A string that provides the absolute filename and line number of the line of code that failed, suitable for presenting to a user of the failing line. It calls failedCodeFilePathname and failedCodeLineNumber to get the failing absolute filename and line number.

A string that provides the line number of the line of code that failed, suitable for presenting to a user, which is taken from this exception's StackTraceElement at the depth specified by failedCodeStackDepth.

This is a def instead of a val because exceptions are mutable: their stack trace can be changed after the exception is created. This is done, for example, by the SeveredStackTraces trait.

The depth in the stack trace of this exception at which the line of test code that failed resides.

One reason this is lazy is to delay any searching of the stack trace until it is actually needed. It will usually be needed, but not always. For example, exceptions thrown during a shrink phase of a failed property will often be StackDepthExceptions, but whose failedCodeStackDepth will never be used. Another reason is to remove the need to create a different exception before creating this one just for the purpose of searching through its stack trace for the proper stack depth. Still one more reason is to allow the message to contain information about the stack depth, such as the failed file name and line number.

Returns the detail message string of this StackDepthException.

Returns a hash code value for this object.

An optional detail message for this StackDepth exception.

An optional source position describing the line of test code that caused this exception.
