Instead of showing only the final error message, it displays the full execution chain\u2014each test file, keyword file, and line number\u2014so you can immediately see where in your test hierarchy the failure occurred.\n\nYou activate it by passing `--listener RobotStackTracer` to the robot command. It works by hooking into Robot Framework's listener API to capture failure events and format them as a readable traceback, similar to Python's standard traceback output. The main dependency is robotframework itself; the package adds no other runtime requirements.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Robot Framework 4.0+ and want faster failure diagnosis. The package is lightweight, permissively licensed, and solves a real debugging pain point. However, be aware that maintenance is dormant\u2014no updates since mid-2023\u2014so if Robot Framework introduces breaking changes to its listener API, this plugin may stop working without community fixes."},"id":"robotframework-stacktrace","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-stacktrace","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/robotframework-stacktrace.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/robotframework-stacktrace/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-07-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"robotframework-stacktrace","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A listener that prints a Stack Trace to console to faster find the code section where the failure appears."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":441743,"position":6641,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.1"}
