# Run the Echo Test Suite and Triage Failures with Atlas in 2026 > Atlas helps Echo developers in 2026 turn a wall of `go test` failures into a prioritized list of distinct root causes for faster debugging. In 2026, Echo developers use Atlas to efficiently transform a deluge of `go test (httptest)` output into a prioritized list of distinct root causes, streamlining the debugging process. Atlas integrates directly with your `go mod` managed project, allowing you to run tests, analyze logs, and apply `gofumpt` formatting with intelligent assistance. ## Key takeaways - Atlas's `bash` tool runs `go test` for Echo, handling large outputs by saving full logs. - Group Echo test failures by distinct root causes using Atlas's `grep` on the complete log. - Track and prioritize Echo fixes with Atlas's `todowrite` for systematic remediation. - Atlas's `edit` tool facilitates iterative fixing of Echo code, with immediate test re-runs. - Review unified diffs for all Echo code changes proposed by Atlas, including `gofumpt` runs. - Atlas ensures safety with permission-gated tool calls and explicit approval for all Echo modifications. ## How do I run `go test` for Echo with Atlas? To run your Echo test suite, Atlas uses its `bash` tool to execute `go test` commands, ensuring comprehensive logging. This tool automatically truncates output at 2000 lines or 50 KB to prevent overwhelming the model, while saving the full log to a file for complete analysis. Atlas's `bash` tool is essential for executing your Echo project's `go test` suite. When you instruct Atlas to run tests, it will construct and execute the appropriate `go test` command, often leveraging `httptest` for your handler validations. A critical aspect of this execution is passing a generous timeout in milliseconds, preventing a slow or hung test suite from being prematurely terminated. For instance, Atlas might suggest `atlas bash -- "go test -v ./... -timeout 10m"` to run all tests with a 10-minute timeout. This ensures that even extensive test suites, common in complex Echo applications with many `echo.Group` routes and custom `HTTPErrorHandler` implementations, complete their run. The `bash` tool captures all standard output and error, providing a unified log for subsequent triage. ## How do I group Echo test failures by root cause? After running your Echo test suite, Atlas helps you group failures by distinct root causes, not just test names, using `grep` on the complete log file. If the initial output was truncated at 2000 lines or 50 KB, Atlas will direct you to the full log file for a comprehensive analysis. When your Echo test suite produces a "wall of red" output, Atlas's `bash` tool intelligently handles the volume. If the output exceeds 2000 lines or 50 KB, Atlas will display a header indicating truncation and provide the path to the complete log file. You can then use Atlas's `read` tool to view this file or instruct Atlas to use its `grep` tool to analyze it. The key strategy here is to group failures by their underlying root cause rather than by individual test names. For example, instead of looking for `TestUserCreationFailure`, you might `grep` for common error messages like "database connection refused" or "validation error for field 'email'" that could stem from a single misconfiguration affecting multiple tests across your `echo.Group` handlers or custom `Validator` implementations. This approach helps identify the core issues faster. ## How do I track Echo test fixes with Atlas `todowrite`? In 2026, after identifying distinct root causes for Echo test failures, Atlas's `todowrite` tool helps you create a prioritized list of fixes. This ensures that each unique problem, from a misconfigured `echo.NewHTTPError` to a `go mod` dependency issue, is tracked and addressed systematically. Once you have used `grep` to identify the distinct root causes of your Echo test failures, Atlas's `todowrite` tool becomes invaluable for managing the remediation process. For each unique root cause, you should create a single `todowrite` entry. This prevents duplicate effort and ensures that every identified problem is formally tracked. For instance, if multiple tests fail due to an incorrect `echo.NewHTTPError` being returned from a specific handler, you would create one `todowrite` entry for "Fix `echo.NewHTTPError` status in `user_handler.go`". Each entry is initially set to a `pending` status, allowing you to focus on one fix at a time while maintaining a clear overview of remaining tasks. This structured approach is particularly effective when dealing with complex Echo applications that might have intricate middleware chains or custom binders. ## How does Atlas ensure safe Echo code changes? Atlas ensures safe and transparent code changes in your Echo project by 2026, offering multiple layers of review and permission gating. Before any modification, Atlas drafts a plan, asks for approval, and computes a unified diff for every file edit, such as changes to `go.mod` or handler files, for your explicit approval. Atlas is designed with robust safety mechanisms to protect your Echo codebase. Every tool call, including those that modify files or interact with your `go mod` dependencies, is permission-gated. This means Atlas will always ask for your explicit permission before running a command that could alter your project. Initially, Atlas operates in a read-only plan agent, drafting a detailed strategy for addressing the identified test failures. Only after you approve this plan does it switch to a build agent. Crucially, for every file edit Atlas proposes, whether it's adjusting an `echo.Group` route, modifying a handler, or running `gofumpt` over touched packages, it computes a unified diff. This diff is surfaced for your review and approval, allowing you to inspect the exact changes before they are written to disk. This granular control ensures you maintain full oversight of all modifications to your Echo application. ## Steps 1. Instruct Atlas to run your Echo test suite using its `bash` tool, ensuring a generous timeout: `atlas bash -- "go test -v ./... -timeout 5m"`. 2. If the `go test` output is truncated, use Atlas's `read` tool to open the complete log file specified in the truncation header. 3. Leverage Atlas's `grep` tool to analyze the full log, identifying distinct root causes for failures rather than individual test names, e.g., `atlas grep "database connection refused" /path/to/full_log.txt`. 4. For each distinct root cause, create a `todowrite` entry with Atlas, setting its status to `pending`, e.g., `atlas todowrite "Fix incorrect HTTP status in user creation handler"`. 5. Select a `pending` `todowrite` entry and use Atlas's `edit` tool to modify the relevant Echo source files, such as a handler returning an `echo.NewHTTPError`. 6. After making changes, re-run only the affected `go test` files or packages via Atlas's `bash` tool to quickly verify the fix. 7. Review the unified diff presented by Atlas for your changes, then approve them. 8. Once the fix is verified, update the `todowrite` entry to `done` and proceed to the next pending item. 9. Before committing, let Atlas run `gofumpt` over the touched packages to ensure consistent formatting. ## FAQ ### How does Atlas handle large `go test` outputs in Echo?
