+Apply a filtering function to each frame of each stack trace when handling errors. This does not apply to stack traces printed by [`printConsoleTrace`](#printConsoleTrace). The first argument, `error`, is a `TestError`.
 
 Can be useful for filtering out stack trace frames from third-party libraries.
 
+::: tip
+The stack trace's total size is also typically limited by V8's [`Error.stackTraceLimit`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/stackTraceLimit) number. You could set this to a high value in your test setup function to prevent stacks from being truncated.

 ```ts
-import type { ParsedStack } from 'vitest'
+import type { ParsedStack, TestError } from 'vitest'
 import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
