Support for screen.debug() in @testing-library/react-native

09 Aug 2023

We are excited to announce support for screen.debug() using @testing-library/react-native in Wallaby. This feature allows developers to easily debug their React Native components and views, improving the overall testing and development experience.


Vitest Runner Enhancements

25 Jul 2023

Wallaby now supports Vitest when configured to run tests in child processes. When Vitest v0.0.29+ is configured with threads: false, tests are run in a child_process instead of worker_threads. This change in where your tests are executed allows APIs like process.chdir to be used, which were not available when running with Vitest’s default worker_threads. To benefit from this enhancement, ensure your Wallaby and Vitest are updated to the latest versions.


Hover Improvements for VS Code

05 Jul 2023

Hover behavior for VS Code has been improved for log values, errors, inline diffs and snapshots. New icon buttons have been added for copying values (logs, stacks, and expected / actual values from diffs) and existing behavior available in hovers has been moved to icon buttons.

Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI Support

11 May 2023

To use wslg, you will need to explicitly configure the path to Chrome with the env.runner property.
