Description

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
  • I have searched the documentation and believe that my question is not covered.

Feature Request

When an error occurs, such as the one in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/5002, it would be really useful to see the output (stdout / stderr) of the command that failed (in that case, it was a git command). Instead, just the command line and return code (and poetry python stack trace if run with -vvv) are shown.

Research direction

The request concerns how CalledProcessError from failed commands is surfaced, especially for git commands; start by tracing the process-error handling entry point and the existing error output. Done means failed processes expose their stdout and stderr alongside the command and return code, with coverage for the reported behavior.
