It should be configurable to hide Hierachy on failure.

Description

Larger apps especially apps that have tab navigations have a big amount of views / components.
In these cases printing the hierachy on error is not helpful at all and just causes endless scrolling in the terminal.

Steps to Reproduce

• Run mid to large sized app
• Cause any test to fail
• Check terminal output.

Detox, Node, Device, Xcode and macOS Versions

• Detox: 9.1.2
• React Native: 0.57.4 (not related)
• Node: 11.6.0 (happens on any)
• Device: iPad Air Simulator (happens on any)
• Xcode: 10.1 (not related)
• macOS: Mojave (not related)

Hello,

This has been asked in the past and we have declined. I don't think we will reconsider at this point, sorry.

The size of app does not dictate that its view hierarchy be unmanageable or unreadable. On a general note, unrelated to Detox, if your view hierarchy is huge, you should consider improving your app. Huge view hierarchies slow down the app and give a bad user experience. In the case of React Native, even more care has to be put when building apps. If you are using JS navigation solutions, you can move to a proper solution that does not require that all views of all tabs be present on screen. That makes no sense.
