// vite testing
AI end-to-end testing for Vite — React, Vue, Svelte.
Add one line to your vite.config, run your dev server, and an AI scan of your app is one click away — right inside the app, on localhost. The browser runs on your own machine, so there’s no deploy, no staging URL, and no tunnel to fall over on a big single-page app.
$ npm install -D @aegisrunner/vite
// vite.config.js
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import aegis from '@aegisrunner/vite'
export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ aegis() ] })
# then, as usual — the shield appears in your app:
$ npm run devdev-only (`apply: 'serve'`). never runs in `vite build`.
// the flow
From dev server to a real test suite — on your machine.
Add the plugin
One line in vite.config: plugins: [ aegis() ]. It's dev-only (apply: 'serve') — it never runs in vite build.
Run vite (npm run dev)
A floating shield appears in your app. The browser runs on your own machine and scans localhost directly — no tunnel, no deploy.
AI explores your app
The agent drives your components, routes and forms like a user — React, Vue, Svelte or Solid — and signs in if you set a credential.
Tests come back
A generated end-to-end suite plus accessibility, SEO and functional findings — keyed to your real pages, before you push.
// why aegisrunner for vite
Built for the way you ship on Vite.
Whole Vite ecosystem
React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact — anything on Vite. Framework-agnostic; no per-stack setup.
Runs on your machine
The browser drives localhost directly — no tunnel, no cloud relay. Fast even on large SPAs with hundreds of routes.
Shield in your app
Click Test this page or Test the whole site inside your running app — live progress, link to results.
Zero test code
No Playwright scripts, no brittle selectors. The AI decides what to test from your live app.
Export to Playwright
Own the output: export any generated suite to Playwright and run it with npx playwright test.
Signs in for you
Set a username/password (or a saved role) and the local browser signs in itself — credentials stay on your machine.

Vite testing, answered
How do I add AegisRunner to a Vite app?
Install @aegisrunner/vite and add it to your plugins: `plugins: [ aegis() ]`. On `npm run dev` a shield appears in your app; click it to scan. No deploy, no staging URL — the browser runs on your own machine against localhost.
Does it work with React, Vue and Svelte?
Yes — anything on Vite. The AI drives your app in a real browser, so it tests the rendered result regardless of framework: React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Preact and more. There’s nothing framework-specific to configure.
My app is a big single-page app — will it keep up?
That’s exactly why local execution is the default. The browser runs on your machine and hits localhost directly, so a SPA that fires hundreds of module requests scans fast — there’s no tunnel relay to overwhelm.
Do I have to deploy to a staging URL first?
No. Local execution runs a real headless browser on your machine (via @aegisrunner/scan-runner — no Docker) and scans localhost directly. Nothing is exposed to the internet; only the findings come back.
How does it test pages behind authentication?
Set AEGIS_USERNAME / AEGIS_PASSWORD (or a saved --role) and the local browser signs in itself — credentials never leave your machine. The AI maps your username onto whatever the form calls its identity field.
Can I run the generated tests in CI?
Yes. Export any suite to Playwright and run it in your pipeline, or trigger a full AegisRunner scan/run from CI with a JUnit report. The same CI token powers the plugin and your pipeline.
