# Upgrade a Dependency and Fix Breakage in SolidJS with Atlas in 2026 > Atlas helps SolidJS developers in 2026 upgrade dependencies and fix breakage by integrating with `pnpm`, `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)`, and `prettier` to automate repairs. In 2026, SolidJS developers can leverage Atlas to direct upgrade major dependencies and resolve any resulting compile or test failures. Atlas integrates directly with your existing SolidJS toolchain, driving `pnpm` for package management, reading real compiler output from `vite.config.ts` based builds, and fixing code with `edit` while inspecting new signatures via `lsp`. This ensures that when you bump a library to a new major version, Atlas handles the repair of every compile and test failure, from `createSignal` updates to `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` test suite adjustments, providing a unified diff for approval before committing. ## Key takeaways - Atlas drives `pnpm` and `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` directly for SolidJS dependency upgrades. - Atlas uses `webfetch` to get real changelogs, ensuring accurate fixes for SolidJS breaking changes. - Atlas understands SolidJS reactivity, fixing issues with `createSignal`, `createMemo`, and destructured props. - Every code change in `.tsx` files is presented as a unified diff for developer approval before writing. - Atlas builds its code index locally with Ollama embeddings, keeping SolidJS code private and secure. ## How Atlas Automates SolidJS Dependency Upgrades and Fixes Atlas streamlines the process of upgrading a major dependency in a SolidJS project by automating the entire repair cycle. In 2026, Atlas uses `bash` to run `pnpm` for upgrades, `webfetch` to retrieve release notes, and `edit` to apply fixes, ensuring your `createSignal` and `createEffect` graphs remain functional. Atlas begins a dependency upgrade by executing `pnpm update @latest` through its `bash` tool, capturing the full output to identify initial changes or warnings. If the output exceeds terminal limits, Atlas saves it to a file for later review using its `read` tool. Following the upgrade, Atlas uses `webfetch` to pull the library's release notes or changelog. This crucial step provides context for breaking changes, allowing Atlas to understand the actual migration requirements rather than guessing. For SolidJS applications, this means Atlas can accurately adapt to changes affecting reactivity primitives like `createSignal` or `createMemo`, ensuring that the core SolidJS paradigm of components running exactly once is preserved. ## Concrete Commands and Files in a SolidJS Upgrade Workflow The Atlas workflow for SolidJS dependency upgrades involves specific commands and file interactions. Atlas uses `bash` to run `pnpm install` and `vitest`, and targets `.tsx` files for edits, ensuring a precise and SolidJS-native approach to fixing breakage in 2026. After fetching release notes, Atlas proceeds to identify and fix compilation and test failures. It runs the SolidJS project's build or typecheck process using `bash`, typically invoking `pnpm run build` or `pnpm run typecheck`, which leverages `vite.config.ts` and `vite-plugin-solid`. Atlas reads the compiler output to enumerate each specific error. For each error, Atlas employs its `edit` tool to modify the affected `.tsx` files. When a new signature is required, Atlas uses the `lsp` tool's `goToDefinition` operation to inspect the updated types and functions directly within the upgraded package, ensuring fixes align with the new API. This is particularly effective for adapting SolidJS components that might rely on destructured props, a common source of reactivity bugs, by ensuring correct access patterns. ## Ensuring Safety and Review in SolidJS Code Changes with Atlas Atlas prioritizes safety and developer review throughout the SolidJS dependency upgrade process. Every change, from a `createSignal` modification to a `prettier` reformat, is presented as a unified diff for approval, giving you full control over the 2026 codebase. Atlas operates with a strong emphasis on safety and transparency. Before making any modifications, Atlas drafts a plan in a read-only plan agent and asks for your approval. All tool calls, including `bash` commands for `pnpm` or `vitest`, are permission-gated against allow, ask, and deny rules. As Atlas fixes errors in `.tsx` files, it continuously re-runs the build and tests using `bash` until the project is clean, ensuring all `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` tests pass. Crucially, Atlas computes a unified diff for every file edit, presenting it for your approval before writing any changes to disk. This allows you to review every line modification, including those made by `prettier` on touched `.tsx` files, and even roll back edits using git patches if needed, maintaining complete oversight of your SolidJS project. ## Leveraging SolidJS Specifics for Effective Upgrades Atlas is deeply aware of SolidJS's unique reactivity model, making it highly effective for upgrades in 2026. It understands that a SolidJS component body runs exactly once, and it can analyze `createSignal`, `createMemo`, and `createEffect` graphs to prevent common reactivity pitfalls. When working with SolidJS, Atlas doesn't treat code as generic text. It builds its code index using AST declarations via tree-sitter, allowing it to understand the structure of your SolidJS application. This means Atlas can specifically identify and address issues related to SolidJS's reactivity model, such as ensuring that `createSignal` updates are correctly handled or that `createMemo` dependencies are properly managed after an upgrade. Atlas can even be asked to fix a destructured prop that broke reactivity, which is a single common SolidJS bug. By understanding the nuances of SolidJS, including how `vite-plugin-solid` integrates with `vite.config.ts`, Atlas provides targeted and effective fixes that respect the framework's core principles. ## Atlas's Extensibility and Local Context for SolidJS Developers Atlas offers extensibility through plugins and maintains local context, providing SolidJS developers with a powerful and secure environment for dependency upgrades in 2026. It can build its code index with local Ollama embeddings, keeping your sensitive SolidJS code off third-party servers. Atlas is designed to be extensible, allowing plugins to contribute tools and hook into agent lifecycle events, which can be tailored for specific SolidJS development needs. For security and privacy, Atlas can build its code index with local Ollama embeddings, ensuring that your SolidJS codebase, including sensitive `createSignal` implementations or SolidStart routes, remains entirely on your local machine and off third-party servers. Atlas also provides a rich terminal-native TUI, rendered with SolidJS itself through the OpenTUI renderer, offering a familiar and efficient interface. Developers can switch the active model and provider on the fly, leveraging favorites and recents to optimize the upgrade process for their SolidJS projects. ## Steps 1. Initiate the dependency upgrade by running `atlas bash pnpm update @latest` to bump the library to its new major version, capturing the full output. 2. Use `atlas webfetch` to retrieve the official release notes or changelog for the upgraded library, providing context for any breaking changes. 3. Run the SolidJS project's build or typecheck process with `atlas bash pnpm run build` (or `pnpm run typecheck`) to enumerate all compile-time breakage reported by `vite.config.ts`. 4. For each identified error, use `atlas edit` to modify the affected `.tsx` files, leveraging `atlas lsp goToDefinition` to inspect new signatures in the upgraded package. 5. Continuously re-run `atlas bash pnpm run test` to execute `vitest (@solidjs/testing-library)` until all tests pass, ensuring full functional integrity. 6. Review the unified diff presented by Atlas for all file changes, including those formatted by `prettier` on `.tsx` files, and approve the modifications. 7. Allow Atlas to stage and create a git commit on your behalf, documenting the successful dependency upgrade and fixes. ## FAQ ### How does Atlas handle SolidJS specific reactivity issues during an upgrade?
