var_dump() output shortned - phpunit or my terminal?

I am writing tests in phpunit and every now and then I have to do a

var_dump($this->getRequest()->getBody())

which is all fine and dandy, however in the terminal when I do:

phpunit application/modules/account/ContactControllerTest.php

I get the output of: 

string(2319) "<!DOCTYPE html><!--[if lt IE 7]><html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7"><![endif]--><!--[if IE 7]><html class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8"><![endif]--><!--[if IE 8]><html class="no-js lt-ie9"><![endif]--><!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html class="no-js"><!--<![endif]--><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" ><meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" ><meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes" "...
...

That is not 2319 characters.... it is more like 516.... where is the rest of my content? Yes my terminal has unlimited scrolling turned on.

What you are looking for is:

xdebug.var_display_max_data

Type: integer, Default value: 512

Controls the maximum string length that is shown when variables are displayed with either xdebug_var_dump(), xdebug.show_local_vars or through Function Trace

If you change that setting to -1 you will get your full dump back.
