Missing a line of the trace, the main one

[abbes-mebrouki]

Sorry, but I don't understand what do you mean by: "Missing a line of the trace"?
can you be more specific?

and thanks.

[DiegoRBaquero]

The first line of the error body is missing, you have the stack trace, but not the error and its message.

thanks, I've updated it.
