Highlight .NET Stack Trace In Exception - jQuery stacktrace.js

stacktrace.js is a minimal jQuery syntax highlighting plugin for .NET that enables you to highlight the exception information (stack traces) using your own CSS styles.

1. Insert your stack trace into a <pre> or <code> tag.

<pre class="stacktrace">
ConsoleApplication1.MyCustomException: some message .... ---> System.Exception: Oh noes!
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject.OtherMethod() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 24
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject..ctor() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 14
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at ConsoleApplication1.SomeObject..ctor() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\SomeObject.cs:line 18
   at ConsoleApplication1.Program.DoSomething() in C:\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 23
   at ConsoleApplication1.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs:line 13
</pre>

2. Download and insert the jQuery stacktrace.js after jQuery library.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js" 
        integrity="sha384-q8i/X+965DzO0rT7abK41JStQIAqVgRVzpbzo5smXKp4YfRvH+8abtTE1Pi6jizo" 
        crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>
<script src="stacktrace.js"></script>

3. Initialize the plugin on the <pre> element.

$('.stacktrace').stackTrace();

4. Apply your own styles to the highlighted strings.

pre, code {
  background-color: #222;
  color: #ffffff;
  font-family:'Roboto Mono'
}
.st-type {
  color: #0a8472;
  font-weight: bolder;
}
.st-method {
  color: #70c9ba;
  font-weight: bolder;
}
.st-frame-params {
  color: #ffffff;
  font-weight: normal;
}
.st-param-type { color: #0a8472; }
.st-param-name { color: #ffffff; }
.st-file { color: #f8b068; }
.st-line { color: #ff4f68; }

5. Default values for classes.

$('.stacktrace').stackTrace({
  frame: 'st-frame',
  type: 'st-type',
  method: 'st-method',
  paramsList: 'st-frame-params',
  paramType: 'st-param-type',
  paramName: 'st-param-name',
  file: 'st-file',
  line: 'st-line'
