doesNotThrow swallows stacktrace info

See original GitHub issue

Given a method that possibly throws an exception, I get the following stacktrace by wrapping it inside doesNotThrow:

AssertionError: expected [Function] to not throw an error but 'AssertionError: expected [<...>] to be a function' was thrown
at Context.<method> (<file>:<line>:<char>)

if I just run the function without wrapping it

<Class> <method>:
AssertionError: expected [<...>] to be a function
  at <Class>.<method> (<file>:<line>:<char>) <----------This line is missing from above
  at <Context>.<method> (<file>:<line>:<char>)

Thanks everyone for input on this issue!

We’ve added this to our Roadmap https://github.com/chaijs/chai/projects/2! We’ll be releasing chai 5 soon, but for now I’ll close this issue because it is tracked on our roadmap.

@keithamus This one isn’t closed by it. There’s actually a couple posts between @lucasfcosta and I near the bottom of https://github.com/chaijs/chai/pull/683 where we list which ones can be closed. 😄
