Most Recent Major Features and Changes
The What’s New section includes major features and changes that have been made in the last 12-18 months. For older news or more details about minor updates and changes, please refer to our changelog.
GitHub Copilot Integration (18 Feb 2025)
The best AI model for investigating unit test errors is the one with the most context — provided by the user and the right tools. Wallaby now automatically provides GitHub Copilot with detailed context and tools - including execution paths, test coverage, and runtime values - to debug smarter. Read more in our blog.
Keyboard Shortcuts (12 Feb 2025)
Wallaby UI now offers quick access to keyboard shortcuts documentation in the Overview and Side view panels, both inside
the editor and from the browser (when using Linked or Standalone Mode). Press the ? key while
focused on either panel, or click the keyboard icon on the right side of the Overview panel, to display a comprehensive
list of available shortcuts.
Support for Vitest v3.0.x+ (23 Jan 2025)
Wallaby now supports the latest version of vitest (v3.0.x+). The recent update of vitest included breaking changes that required updates to Wallaby’s vitest integration.
Value Peek (21 Jan 2025)
Wallaby for VS Code and JetBrains editors now supports Value Peek, a way to quickly see any value just by hovering over it. Wallaby will handle execution of the relevant tests to provide values, which will be displayed in the hover. To keep your editor clutter-free, values shown this way will not appear next to your code by default (but can be made to appear using the “Explore Value” action available in the hover). Value Peek can be toggled on or off to fit with your workflow.
Introducing Wallaby v2 (17 Oct 2024)
We’ve re-imagined Wallaby.js to deliver more power, flexibility, and a seamless experience across all editors. Wallaby v2 introduces an all-new UI, enhanced debugging tools like the Interactive Time Travel Debugger, and advanced test execution monitoring. With Linked and Standalone modes, it supports any editor, making it easier than ever to streamline your workflow. Read more in our blog.
Support for Vitest v2.1.0+ (13 Sep 2024)
Wallaby has been updated to support the latest version of vitest, v2.1.0. This update was necessary due to breaking changes introduced in the latest vitest release.
