# Run the test suite and triage failures in SolidJS with Atlas in 2026 > Atlas helps SolidJS developers efficiently triage `vitest` failures by grouping distinct root causes from extensive test logs. Atlas empowers SolidJS developers in 2026 to transform a wall of red `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` output into a prioritized list of distinct root causes, streamlining the debugging process with tools like `pnpm` and ensuring code quality with `prettier`. This approach helps you move from overwhelming test logs to actionable fixes efficiently. ## Key takeaways - Atlas runs `vitest` for SolidJS with full log capture, even for extensive outputs. - Atlas's `grep` tool helps identify distinct root causes in SolidJS test output, not just individual failures. - The `todowrite` tool in Atlas effectively tracks and prioritizes SolidJS bug fixes. - Atlas's `edit` tool supports iterative SolidJS development with rapid feedback loops. - All Atlas actions for SolidJS are permission-gated and diff-reviewed, ensuring developer control and safety. - Atlas understands SolidJS reactivity graphs (`createSignal`, `createMemo`, `createEffect`) for better assistance. ## How to run SolidJS `vitest` tests with Atlas In 2026, Atlas runs your SolidJS `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` test suite using its `bash` tool, ensuring even slow suites complete by passing a generous timeout of 60000 milliseconds by default. This captures the full output for comprehensive analysis. To initiate your SolidJS test suite, you'll use Atlas's `bash` tool. This allows Atlas to execute your standard `pnpm vitest` command, but with the added benefit of robust output handling. For instance, you might run `atlas bash "pnpm vitest --timeout=60000"`. Atlas ensures that even if your suite produces a massive amount of output, it's all captured. While the terminal display might truncate at 2000 lines or 50 KB, Atlas always writes the complete log to a retained file, providing you with the exact path. This means you're never working with a lossy tail, which is critical for thorough SolidJS test failure analysis. ## How Atlas groups SolidJS `vitest` failures by root cause Atlas helps SolidJS developers group `vitest` failures by distinct root causes, rather than individual test names, by leveraging its `grep` tool against the complete test log. This approach is crucial for efficiently identifying the 1-2 underlying issues causing many test failures. After running your SolidJS `vitest` suite, the next step is to identify the distinct root causes of failures. Instead of sifting through hundreds of individual test failures, Atlas guides you to use its `grep` tool on the complete log file. This is where the full log, saved by Atlas, becomes invaluable. You can instruct Atlas to `grep` for specific error patterns or common SolidJS reactivity issues, such as those related to `createSignal`, `createMemo`, or `createEffect` graphs. This method allows you to quickly consolidate many seemingly disparate failures into a handful of core problems, making the triage process significantly more efficient and targeted for your SolidJS codebase. ## How to prioritize SolidJS test fixes with Atlas `todowrite` After identifying distinct root causes from your SolidJS `vitest` output, Atlas uses its `todowrite` tool to record each as a pending entry, ensuring no fix is forgotten. This creates a clear, actionable list, typically containing 3 to 5 high-priority items for immediate attention. Once you've used `grep` to distill your SolidJS `vitest` failures into a list of distinct root causes, Atlas's `todowrite` tool helps you manage these fixes. For each unique problem, you'll create a `todowrite` entry, explicitly setting its status to `pending`. This ensures that every identified issue is tracked and accounted for, preventing critical bugs from being overlooked. This structured approach transforms a chaotic wall of red output into a manageable, prioritized list of tasks, allowing you to systematically address the most impactful problems in your SolidJS project first. ## How Atlas supports iterative SolidJS bug fixing and code review Atlas facilitates iterative bug fixing in SolidJS by allowing you to address one distinct root cause at a time using the `edit` tool, then re-running only affected `vitest` tests. Every change generates a unified diff for approval, ensuring 100% transparency before writing to disk. With your prioritized list of SolidJS test failures, you can begin fixing them one by one. Atlas's `edit` tool allows you to make precise changes to your SolidJS `.tsx` components or `vite.config.ts` configuration. After each modification, you can re-run only the specific `vitest` tests affected by your change using `atlas bash "pnpm vitest path/to/affected/test.spec.tsx"`. This rapid feedback loop is crucial for efficient debugging. Before any changes are written to your SolidJS project, Atlas computes a unified diff and presents it for your explicit approval, ensuring you have full control. Atlas can also run `prettier` on any touched `.tsx` files to maintain consistent code style across your SolidJS codebase. ## Atlas safety and transparency for SolidJS code changes Atlas prioritizes safety and transparency for SolidJS developers, ensuring every tool call is permission-gated against allow, ask, and deny rules before execution. This includes operations like modifying `vite.config.ts` or adding `@solidjs/testing-library` tests, providing 100% control over agent actions. Working with Atlas in your SolidJS project means you're always in control. Atlas operates with a strong emphasis on safety and transparency. Before any tool call, whether it's running `bash` commands, performing `grep` searches, or making `edit` changes to your SolidJS files, Atlas checks against your defined permission rules (allow, ask, deny). It drafts a plan in a read-only agent first, then asks for your explicit permission before switching to a build agent to execute changes. Furthermore, Atlas indexes your SolidJS code by AST declarations using tree-sitter, understanding your `createSignal`, `createMemo`, and `createEffect` graphs, which enhances its ability to suggest relevant fixes while respecting your codebase's structure. Every proposed file edit is presented as a unified diff for your approval, and changes can be snapshotted as git patches for easy rollback, offering unparalleled confidence when developing with SolidJS. ## Steps 1. Initiate the SolidJS `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` test suite using Atlas's `bash` tool: `atlas bash "pnpm vitest --timeout=60000"`. 2. If the output indicates truncation, use Atlas's `read` tool to view the complete `vitest` log file path provided in the header. 3. Group the SolidJS test failures by distinct root cause using Atlas's `grep` tool on the saved log, focusing on patterns related to reactivity issues like `createSignal` or `createEffect`. 4. Record each distinct root cause as a pending entry using Atlas's `todowrite` tool, creating an actionable list for your SolidJS project. 5. Address one distinct cause at a time by using Atlas's `edit` tool to modify the relevant SolidJS `.tsx` component or utility file. 6. After an edit, re-run only the affected `vitest` tests via Atlas's `bash` tool to quickly verify the fix without a full suite run, for example: `atlas bash "pnpm vitest src/components/MyComponent.spec.tsx"`. 7. Review the unified diff presented by Atlas for your SolidJS code changes, ensuring accuracy before approval. 8. Instruct Atlas to run `prettier` on any touched SolidJS `.tsx` files to maintain consistent formatting standards. ## FAQ ### How does Atlas handle large `vitest` outputs in SolidJS?
