Roadmap Query: Official support for Vitest (rules_vitest) vs. Community Fork

[gaurav-rk9]

Hi Aspect Team,

As we move further into 2026, our team is evaluating our testing stack. We are currently heavy users of rules_js, but we are looking to standardize on Vitest for its native ESM support and performance.

I’m aware of the excellent work done on fremtind/rules_vitest, which seems to be the current community standard and is based on your rules_jest architecture.

My questions are:

Official Roadmap: Does Aspect have plans to release an official aspect-build/rules_vitest this year, or perhaps adopt/upstream the Fremtind fork?

Current Recommendation: For a high-scale monorepo requiring sharding and coverage, is the current recommendation still to use a js_test wrapper, or should we commit to the community ruleset for these specific Bazel integrations?

Thanks for the help!
