Angular v21 Support with Vitest

12 Mar 2026

For Angular CLI v21 workspaces and projects, Wallaby now automatically detects and configures the default Vitest runner. Wallaby runs tests in Node.js environments such as jsdom and happy-dom, or in browsers via playwright or webdriverio, and provides better incremental run performance, reliability, and live results streaming.


Support for Vitest Browser Mode

21 Jan 2026

Wallaby now supports running Vitest v4.x+ in browser mode, using either the playwright or webdriverio providers. Wallaby will run your browser instances in headless mode by default (overridable by setting headless: false in your vitest config).

AI Action Selector

22 Oct 2025

We have added a mode selector to Wallaby Copilot integration, allowing you to choose between different modes of operation, such as Investigation, Analytical Fix and Direct Fix. This provides more flexibility in how the Copilot prompt is generated and what level of detail is provided to the AI model. We have also added code lens action for failing tests to quickly switch between modes.


Vitest Improvements

20 Oct 2025

Wallaby’s v3 release shipped with some large-scale changes to our Vitest integration. These changes shift responsibility for determining test execution order from Vitest to Wallaby and provide a more responsive test execution experience. Since the release, we have made several changes to improve performance and reliability for issues that could affect larger projects. We’re continuing to work on further enhancements to make Wallaby and Vitest work even better together.


Identifier Expressions Logging

18 Oct 2025

We have updated Wallaby to log multiple values for identifier expressions (i.e., variable names), limiting the number of logged values and traversal depth, while clearly indicating when the count limit is reached. Previously, a single value was logged for identifier expressions, which could lead to incomplete or misleading information.
