How do I get the whole error backtrace for rspec?

Question

Currently I am using parallel tests rspec allure 0.8.0

After I run the tests I get the following error:

RSpec::Core::MultipleExceptionError

I need the whole backtrace of the error. Is it some parameter that I need to pass to the command that I use to run and is there a permanent way so that it always prints the whole error

You have two options, to define a helper with that attribute or in command line

## spec/spec_helper.rb
config.full_backtrace = true # false to dismiss

or in the command line

$ rspec spec/folder/your_spec.rb --backtrace

If you get this error you need to find the specific test in the rspec log (scroll up). There you will see details about the issue.

In my case error was shown only on CI and I needed some time in order to figure out that everything I need is "hidden" somewhere in the super long output.
