Error output doesn't display file name and line number everywhere

Author: arnaldopCreated Aug 27, 2026Updated Sep 1, 2026

Description

This seems to be a regression from V1, because I used to get the information I needed in all 3 places. In the error output below (run with mvn test), I only get the file name and line number in the top logs, not the subsequent 2.

Steps to Reproduce

Run feature with error. The actual line is not represented in all reports.

karate-config.js

...
    var consoleOutput = System.getProperty('consoleOutput') === 'true'
    karate.configure('logging', {
        console: consoleOutput ? 'debug' : 'info',
        report: 'debug',
        pretty: true
    })
...

In this case, consoleOutput = false.

Expected Behavior

See the actual file and line number in each of the reported error blocks.

Actual Behavior

The file name and line number only appear once.
