Description

I noticed that my Node stack traces appear very short in Sentry, which makes errors hard to debug.

IIUC, raven-node used to set Error.stackTraceLimit = Infinity. https://github.com/getsentry/raven-node/blob/6dbb5ef37ccd536360d5f73b601a42faee23b2f4/index.js#L10

@sentry/browser still sets this, but @sentry/node does not. Is there a reason for that?

Makes sense, thank you. It might be worth adding a note about this to the docs, as the default stack trace size is pretty useless IMO.

We just didn’t want to enforce it, as this change can be applied by everyone manually.

Error.stackTraceLimit = 50;
Sentry.init({ ... });

This will work just fine.
