I have no JavaScript knowledge. Maybe the trace can be reformatted before being shown?

Moved it to MediaWiki-Core-Tests since the error formatting is done by MediaWiki.

This is mostly an upstream issue (both Grunt and Karma), as well as some general semantics in JavaScript that cause certain weird test failures to cascade into a large number of unrelated problems.

In general, and especially with QUnit/JavaScript, always look for the first test failure when trying to understand what went wrong.

The long stacktraces indeed make it harder to find the name of the test that failed. T153759: MediaWiki qunit Jenkins jobs should emit a junit result and process it could help with that. I'm closing this because I don't think it's likely there's anything else we can do about this in the medium run. Keeping the task open doesn't help us.
