# Run the test suite and triage the failures in Tauri with Atlas in 2026 > Tauri developers in 2026 leverage Atlas to run `cargo test` and frontend suites, then efficiently triage failures by grouping distinct root causes from the complete test log. In 2026, Tauri developers can transform a deluge of red test output into a prioritized list of distinct root causes using Atlas, which orchestrates `cargo test` for the Rust core and `pnpm` for the frontend suite. Atlas's terminal-native AI agent streamlines the entire triage process, from executing tests to identifying and tracking unique failures across your Tauri application. ## Key takeaways - Atlas runs `cargo test` for Rust and `pnpm test` for Tauri frontends, handling large outputs. - Triage Tauri failures by root cause using `atlas grep` on the complete test log, not just test names. - Track distinct Tauri issues with `atlas todowrite` to ensure systematic resolution. - Iteratively fix Tauri code with `atlas edit` and re-run only affected tests via `atlas bash`. - Atlas provides permission prompts and unified diffs for all `src-tauri` and frontend code changes. ## How to run the complete Tauri test suite with Atlas, including Rust and frontend tests In 2026, running the full Tauri test suite with Atlas ensures comprehensive coverage across your Rust core and webview frontend. Atlas uses its `bash` tool to execute `cargo test` in `src-tauri` and your frontend test runner, providing a generous timeout of 10,000 milliseconds to prevent premature termination of slow suites. Atlas orchestrates the execution of your entire Tauri test suite, encompassing both the Rust backend and the webview frontend. For the Rust core, Atlas invokes `cargo test` within the `src-tauri` directory, respecting your project's `Cargo.toml` configuration. Simultaneously, it can trigger your frontend test suite, typically managed by `pnpm` or `npm`, within your `frontend package.json` context. Atlas's `bash` tool is configured to pass a generous timeout, ensuring that even extensive or slow-running test suites are not prematurely killed. This is crucial for large Tauri applications where a full test run might exceed default execution limits. When the test output exceeds 2000 lines or 50 KB, Atlas automatically truncates the terminal display, but crucially, it writes the complete, untruncated log to a retained file. The path to this file is clearly indicated in the `...output truncated...` header, allowing you to access the full context for detailed analysis without loss. ## How to triage Tauri test failures by root cause using Atlas's `grep` tool Tauri test failures often present as a wall of red output, but in 2026, Atlas helps you cut through the noise. Instead of focusing on individual test names, Atlas guides you to group failures by their distinct root causes using its `grep` tool over the complete test log, which can easily exceed 2000 lines. After running your Tauri test suite, the primary goal is to identify the underlying issues, not just the failing tests. Atlas's `grep` tool is instrumental in this process. Rather than sifting through potentially thousands of lines of output in the terminal, you'll use `grep` against the complete test log file that Atlas saved. This file contains every detail, even if the terminal output was truncated. For instance, you might `grep` for specific error messages, panic outputs, or stack trace patterns that indicate a common problem across multiple failing tests. This approach is particularly effective in Tauri, where a single Rust error in `src-tauri` might manifest as failures in several `#[tauri::command]` handlers, or a frontend issue could cascade across various UI components. By grouping failures by their distinct root causes, you gain a clearer picture of the actual problems, allowing for more efficient and targeted debugging efforts instead of fixing symptoms one by one. ## Tracking and fixing distinct Tauri issues with Atlas `todowrite` and `edit` Once distinct root causes for Tauri test failures are identified, Atlas helps you manage the remediation process. In 2026, you'll use the `todowrite` tool to create a prioritized list of fixes, ensuring no issue is forgotten. Each entry, initially marked 'pending', represents a concrete action to resolve a specific problem in your `src-tauri` or frontend code. With a clear understanding of the distinct root causes, the next step is to systematically address them. Atlas's `todowrite` tool allows you to record one entry per distinct cause, setting its status to 'pending'. This creates a structured backlog of fixes, preventing issues from being overlooked or re-triaged. For example, if `grep` revealed a common serialization error affecting multiple `#[tauri::command]` invocations, you'd create a single `todowrite` entry for that serialization bug. When you're ready to tackle a specific issue, Atlas's `edit` tool provides a powerful, terminal-native interface for making code changes. You can navigate directly to the relevant files in `src-tauri` for Rust code or your frontend directory for JavaScript/TypeScript. After making an edit, you can re-run only the affected tests using the `bash` tool, rather than the entire suite. This rapid feedback loop is crucial for efficient debugging in Tauri, allowing you to confirm fixes quickly and iterate on solutions without waiting for a full build and test cycle. ## Ensuring safety and reviewing Tauri code changes with Atlas Atlas prioritizes safety and transparency when making changes to your Tauri project in 2026. Every Atlas tool call, including those affecting `src-tauri/capabilities` or `tauri.conf.json`, is permission-gated, requiring explicit approval. Before any file is written, Atlas computes and surfaces a unified diff, allowing you to review and approve every proposed modification to your Rust or frontend code. Working with Atlas provides multiple layers of safety and review, particularly important when modifying a complex framework like Tauri. Before Atlas executes any command that could alter your project, such as adding a new `#[tauri::command]` handler or wiring a matching entry in `src-tauri/capabilities`, it prompts for permission based on allow, ask, or deny rules. This ensures you maintain full control over your codebase. When Atlas proposes a code change, for instance, to fix a test failure, it first drafts a plan in a read-only agent. Once approved, it switches to a build agent. Crucially, before writing any changes to disk, Atlas computes a unified diff for every affected file. This diff is presented to you for explicit approval, allowing you to inspect every line modification to your Rust files, `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`, or frontend code. This granular review process, combined with Atlas's ability to snapshot file changes as git patches for easy rollback, provides confidence and control throughout the debugging and development workflow in your Tauri application. ## Steps 1. Run the full Tauri test suite: Use `atlas bash` to execute `cargo test` in `src-tauri` and your frontend test command (e.g., `pnpm test`), ensuring a generous timeout like `atlas bash --timeout 300000 "cd src-tauri && cargo test && cd ../frontend && pnpm test"`. 2. Access the complete test log: If the terminal output indicates truncation, use `atlas read ` to view the complete, untruncated log file for your Tauri tests. 3. Group failures by root cause: Employ `atlas grep` on the full test log file to identify common error patterns or panic messages across your Rust and frontend test failures, rather than individual test names. For example, `atlas grep "panic at" `. 4. Record distinct issues: For each unique root cause identified, create a `todowrite` entry with `atlas todowrite add "Fix [specific Tauri issue]" --status pending`, ensuring fixes for `src-tauri` or frontend are tracked. 5. Edit Tauri code: Use `atlas edit` to open and modify the relevant Rust files in `src-tauri` or frontend files (e.g., `.ts`, `.js`) to address a specific `todowrite` item. 6. Re-run affected tests: After an edit, use `atlas bash` to re-run only the specific `cargo test` or frontend test command relevant to your change, confirming the fix efficiently. 7. Review and approve changes: Before writing, Atlas will present a unified diff of your `src-tauri` or frontend code changes for approval, ensuring you review every modification. 8. Format code: After approving changes, let Atlas run `rustfmt` on the Rust side and `prettier` on the frontend to maintain code style consistency. ## FAQ ### How does Atlas handle large `cargo test` outputs in Tauri?
