Not sure if there's a better channel for this. I had a program throw an exception into main. I actually figured out what the issue was, but when I run my program in Intellij, I can't find even a half decent stack trace or the name of the exception, it's literally just a mountain of gradle garbage. How do I find my actual stack trace? The exception ends with (124 more) but I can't seem to expand it any further

Can you show a screenshot?

@Vampire yes, here you go. I end up just throwing an exception directly from main. I have gobs and gobs of stuff from gradle, can't find my own exception. pretty sure it wasn't always like this.

[Nir]

hmm

[Nir]

I think I understand now

[Nir]

on the left if I click on the error in main, I can see my stuff

[Nir]

but by default it's jumping to that lower thing, "Process 'command' ...." and there's only junk in there

[Nir]

thanks for prompting the rubber ducking 🙂

Yeah, IJ is sometimes a bit too filtery when you are too deep in the tree on the left.
If you don't understand what is going on, just click higher in the tree or the top-most node and see the full error in context

[Nir]

Yeah, that seems like a good tip, thanks!

pretty new to gradle etc, haven't really done any java
