* fix(setup): detect OrbStack vs Docker Desktop before relaunching the daemon ensureDocker() always ran `open -a Docker` to relaunch a stopped daemon on macOS, which silently no-ops for OrbStack users (no Docker.app bundle exists), leading to a misleading "GUI license acceptance" timeout error. Now it checks the docker CLI's active context first (accurate regardless of install location) and falls back to checking for OrbStack.app, so the wizard launches and messages the app that's actually installed. * fix(setup): don't let an installed OrbStack override an explicit Docker Desktop context macDockerApp() fell through to the OrbStack.app existence check whenever docker context show returned anything other than "orbstack" — including a known, explicit context like "desktop-linux". With both apps installed but Docker Desktop active and stopped, this launched OrbStack while daemonUp() kept polling Docker Desktop's socket, timing out with OrbStack-flavored guidance for a Docker Desktop problem. The path fallback now only runs when the context command gives no answer at all (null); any resolved context is trusted outright. Flagged identically by Greptile and Cursor Bugbot on PR #6250. * fix(setup): fall back to the installed app when the context isn't OrbStack Context detection only fell back to the app bundle when `docker context show` failed outright, so an OrbStack-only Mac sitting on the `default` context still resolved to Docker Desktop — the same 90s hang this fix exists to remove. Treat an explicit OrbStack selection as the only positive context signal and otherwise pick whichever app is installed. Read `DOCKER_HOST` first: it overrides the active context, so the context name is not authoritative while it is set. * fix(setup): require OrbStack to be installed before selecting it A context or DOCKER_HOST left behind by an OrbStack uninstall selected an app that can never launch, turning a working Docker Desktop start into a guaranteed 90s timeout. Gate the OrbStack signal on the bundle being present and fall through to whichever app is. Look in ~/Applications as well as /Applications while here — Homebrew casks honour --appdir, so a user-local install is not unusual and a hardcoded /Applications check would misread it as "not installed". * fix(setup): resolve the docker app through LaunchServices, not fixed paths A Homebrew `--appdir` can put OrbStack anywhere, so enumerating install directories will always have a tail that reads a present app as missing and sends setup to the wrong one. Fall back to LaunchServices when the well-known directories miss: that is the same lookup `open -a` performs, so availability now agrees with what the launch will actually do. * fix(setup): settle the docker app with open(1) instead of probing for it `path to application` can raise a modal "Where is …?" picker when the name does not resolve, which in a terminal wizard reads as a hang. Drop it: the launch itself already answers the question, since `open` exits non-zero when macOS knows no such app, instantly and without UI. That inverts the design. Rather than predict which app is installed and then launch it, pick a provider, try to start it, and let the exit code correct a guess — so the directory probe no longer has to enumerate every possible install location to be right. An explicit OrbStack selection is now never redirected to Docker Desktop. The CLI is addressing OrbStack's socket, so `docker info` keeps failing no matter how well Docker Desktop starts; the earlier fallback only replaced a 90s timeout with a differently worded one. Say the context is stale and how to fix it instead. * fix(setup): honour `required` when the docker app fails to launch db.ts and redis.ts call ensureDocker(false) and branch on the boolean to offer an external Postgres or Redis instead. Throwing past that aborts the whole wizard when a working non-Docker path was on the table, so every post-confirm failure now warns and returns false unless Docker is required. That covers the 90s-timeout throw too, which ignored `required` before this branch existed — leaving it as the one path that still aborts would make the flag mean two different things in one function. Also name DOCKER_CONTEXT in the stale-selection hint. It overrides the config context, so `docker context use` alone leaves the CLI pointed at OrbStack and the next run fails identically. * improvement(setup): don't tell CLI-runtime users to install Docker Desktop Having the docker CLI but neither GUI app is exactly what a colima or Rancher Desktop user looks like, and the failure told them to install Docker Desktop — advice for a problem they don't have. Name the situation accurately and add starting an existing runtime as an option. --------- Co-authored-by: Bohdan Vilishchuk <iamtheflex@gmail.com>
Integration documentation generator
generate-docs.ts compiles the per-service integration pages under
apps/docs/content/docs/en/integrations/ from the block/tool/trigger registry in
apps/sim. The ontology it encodes: everything is a block, and an integration is one
block that has Actions and, optionally, a Trigger.
Golden rule: the generated
.mdxfiles are derived artifacts, not the source of truth. Do not hand-edit them — your changes are overwritten on the next run. The only editable region is theMANUAL-CONTENTblock (see below). To change what a page says, edit the TypeScript inapps/simand regenerate.
Where an integration lives canonically
For a service like Gmail, three TS sources define it:
| Source | What it is | What it feeds in the page |
|---|---|---|
apps/sim/blocks/blocks/<service>.ts |
The block: type, name, category (tools for integrations), bgColor, config sub-blocks, tools.access (which actions it exposes), an optional triggers capability, outputs |
Header / BlockInfoCard, Usage Instructions, and which actions + trigger appear |
apps/sim/tools/<service>/*.ts |
Each action's params + outputs | Every ### <action> → #### Input / #### Output under ## Actions |
apps/sim/triggers/<provider>/ |
The trigger's config fields + outputs | The ## Triggers section |
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx |
The brand glyph | The page icon |
The block references actions by id in tools.access; the generator looks each one up in
apps/sim/tools/.
What the generator does
Run with cd apps/sim && bun run generate-docs (or bun run scripts/generate-docs.ts
from the repo root). One pass (generateAllBlockDocs):
- Copies icons
apps/sim/components/icons.tsx→apps/docs/components/icons.tsxand buildsapps/docs/components/ui/icon-mapping.ts. - Block pass — for each integration block (
category: 'tools', plus thememory/knowledge/tableexceptions), writesintegrations/<service>.mdx:BlockInfoCard+ Usage Instructions +## Actions. - Trigger pass (
generateAllTriggerDocs) — readsapps/sim/triggers/<provider>/and appends a## Triggerssection to that service's page, or writes a standalone page for trigger-only services. - Writes
integrations/meta.jsonand regenerates the landing page'sintegrations.json.
Hand-written pages it never touches
Core block pages (blocks/*), the native trigger pages (triggers/{start,schedule,webhook,rss,table}),
the integrations overview (integrations/index.mdx), and the service-account pages are
fully hand-written. The generator skips them via HANDWRITTEN_INTEGRATION_DOCS,
HANDWRITTEN_TRIGGER_DOCS, and SKIP_TRIGGER_PROVIDERS. Add a page name to those sets if
you hand-author a page the generator would otherwise produce.
Manual content (the one editable region)
Each generated page may carry hand-written prose inside marker comments. The generator preserves anything between the markers and overwrites everything else, so this survives every regeneration:
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[AgentMail](https://agentmail.to/) is an API-first email platform…
{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-END */}
Supported section names: intro (after the BlockInfoCard — the most common),
usage, configuration, outputs, notes. The merge is by marker name
(extractManualContent + mergeWithManualContent), so a section is re-inserted at the
matching spot in the freshly generated structure.
If you move the output folder, reseed manual content from the old location first — the generator only preserves markers it finds in the existing output file, so a fresh folder starts with none.
Practical: to change…
- An action's params/outputs, a trigger, or to add a service → edit
apps/sim/{blocks,tools,triggers}and re-run the generator. - A page's prose intro → edit its
MANUAL-CONTENT:introblock directly; it survives regen. - The overview / service-account / core-block / native-trigger pages → hand-edit freely.
Gotchas
- Never hand-edit
apps/docs/components/icons.tsx— step 1 overwrites it from the sim app. Components that need an icon the sim app lacks should define it locally or use@sim/emcn/icons(seecomponents/workflow-preview/block-icons.tsx). - The generator is the source of truth for
integrations/and itsmeta.json; manual edits there are transient.
CI
The generator runs in CI on pushes to the main branch and commits the regenerated docs
back. Keep block/tool/trigger metadata accurate in apps/sim and the docs follow.
