Use wrapping exceptions to fix truncated stack traces#121

I am accepting the fix, as now I can see the full stack trace (still on the fence whether we should keep showing parent kernel stack around a user exception 🤔) But I can barely understand what's going on in our exception handling inside both catch (ExecutionException e) {
Throwable cause = e.getCause();
if (cause instanceof InvocationTargetException) {
cause = cause.getCause();
}
if (cause == null) {
throw new UserException("null", "Unknown Invocation Exception", e.getStackTrace());
} else {
throw wrapInRunException(cause);
}
}Maybe we can identify a finite set of specific exceptions cases and refactor them all into named methods or something? Or maybe there's a common way to unwind exceptions to a known cause that can be handled in a unified way? |

Fixes #118.
Details
The root cause is that JShell's
UserExceptionclass doesn't preserve theThrowable causefield during serialization, it only carriesmessage,causeExceptionClass, andstackTraceelements. When the exception chain is converted toEvalExceptionby JShell, intermediate causes are discarded.We can recursively wrap the entire exception cause chain in
UserException's usinginitCause()before passing to JShell. This allows JShell to properly reconstruct the full exception chain.Testing
Tested manually in jupyter notebook with a test snippet. Full exception chain is now displayed.
