Truncation threshold at different verbosity levels #8403
Description
Currently pytest always truncates any output string when displaying assertion errors to 240 characters (it is hardcoded in saferepr). This is often a problem, specially in CI (#6682).
#8391 changes how verbosity affects truncation of assertion output, like this:
| Verbosity | Max chars |
| 0 | 240 |
| 1 | 240 |
| 2 | 240 |
| 3 | 2400 |
| 4+ | No limit |
The intent here was to keep the normal -v and -vv (the more common verbosity levels) unchanged, however I have been thinking that perhaps it makes more sense to increase the threshold starting right with -v, like this:
| Verbosity | Max chars |
| 0 | 240 |
| 1 | 2400 |
| 2+ | No limit |
Thoughts?
The logic is that one who is increasing verbosity already expects more output anyway, so it makes sense to increase the threshold limit as well.
