root cause (stack trace) swallowed in AbstractApplicationContext [SPR-16382]

[spring-projects-issues]

Victor Volle opened SPR-16382 and commented

Spring boot project.
I had an Entity with a duplicate column.

When starting the application I get an error message: "... Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory"
But without any stack trace.

1. The TomcatStarter only logs the Exception message
2. The AbstractApplicationContext again only logs the message:

catch (BeansException ex) {
  if (logger.isWarnEnabled()) {
    logger.warn("Exception encountered during context initialization - " +
        "cancelling refresh attempt: " + ex);
  }
  ...

But none of the logged messages shows the root cause.

This could be either handled by the TomcatStarter or by the AbstractApplicationContext

Stéphane Nicoll, from my perspective, the full stacktrace should always be logged at the outermost level... which would translate to Boot's TomcatStarter here. What's your take on this?

Stéphane Nicoll commented

Agreed and it does unless a FailureAnalyzer is at play (which will provide a dedicated error message if we know for sure we can handle it). This is not the case for that exception so the full stacktrace must be logged.

Victor Volle when reporting such issue, the actual log is key. If you have a sample that demonstrates the issue that you are describing it would be better. Can you please share that?

Attached [^spring.log]
(I had to clean up any stuff that could identify the customer).

Thanks but that log doesn't look vanilla Spring Boot. Can you please share a sample that we can run? It doesn't need to be the exact application, all we need is an application that reproduces the log that you've shared.

Victor Volle please provide a sample that we can run that demonstrates this issue.

It seems to be an issue with Intellij IDEA. I cannot reproduce it outside of Intellij anymore.
