Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: javascript
Domain: mobile-dev, testing

Research direction

Start with the TestDebugReporter path named in the stack trace and inspect how CommandDebugWrapper metadata is parsed by Jackson when a JavaScript Error is present. Reproduce with a script containing throw new Error("message"), then verify the log displays that message instead of the Jackson unhandled-exception output.

Description

bug js maestro cli P2

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues and didn't find mine.

Steps to reproduce

Create JS file that will perform some action.
Add throw new Error("message") command.
Error might be the single action in the JavaScript file to simplify reproducing
Call this JS file from a test

On failure, the maestro log with have Jackson parser exception.

So, there is no error message from the Error that will help to understand why the test failed, just a useless unhandled exception.

Actual results

Unhandled exception in Jackson parser

Expected results

The message from error is displayed in the log file
