Deep stack traces based on AsyncListener API
You know the drill
npm i asynctrace --save-dev
// simply require, somewhere near the process entry point
require('asynctrace')
specificaly made compatible with mocha
mocha --require asynctrace
for this code:
'use strict';
require('asynctrace')
setImmediate(function a() {
setImmediate(function b() {
setImmediate(function c() {
setImmediate(function d() {
setImmediate(function e() {
throw new Error('gaga');
});
});
});
});
});
You'll get the following stack trace:
throw new Error('gaga');
^
Error: gaga

There is a performance price with using AsyncListener, but we were able to minimize it. For example here are timing on running the full visionmedia/express
test suite:
$ time mocha --require test/support/env --reporter dot --check-leaks test/ test/acceptance/
..........................................................................................
563 passing (10s)
real 0m11.423s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.000s
$ time mocha -r asynctrace --require test/support/env --reporter dot --check-leaks test/ test/acceptance/
....................................................................................
563 passing (11s)
real 0m12.288s
