* perf(tests): mock the tool registry globally, drop the dead deps optimizer
The test suite spent far more time importing modules than running them: on
the full suite, `import` was 1,399s aggregate against 88s of actual tests.
Per-file import cost showed exactly where it came from — lib/core, which
touches no registry, runs at 0.09s/file, while every area that reaches the
tool registry runs 12x-79x that (blocks 7.12s/file, providers 3.65, executor
3.07, tools 2.05, app/api 1.05).
The tool registry is 4,351 entries pulling ~5,907 modules, and almost nothing
under test needs the real thing. `@/blocks/registry` was already globally
mocked for this reason; this does the same for `@/tools/registry`.
Full suite, same commit, same machine:
baseline Duration 166.21s (transform 141.80s, import 1399.17s)
after Duration 91.56s (transform 61.98s, import 617.08s)
45% faster, import -56%, transform -56%. Identical results either way:
1252 files / 16873 tests pass, plus one failure that reproduces on unmodified
staging (cloud-review-tools.test.ts cannot find `rg` from its spawned python3
locally; CI installs ripgrep and it passes there).
Four test files genuinely assert tool registration or tool params, so they
opt out with `vi.unmock('@/tools/registry')` rather than being weakened or
deleted — outlook, azure_devops, and the two search-replace suites. No
coverage is lost.
Also removes `deps.optimizer.web`, which was dead config: it only applies to
client environments (jsdom/happy-dom) and 985 of 1,219 files declare
`@vitest-environment node`. Measured both ways to be sure — removing it is a
no-op (19.33s -> 19.23s), and switching it to the correct `ssr` side with an
include list for the heavy provider SDKs was also a no-op (19.19s). The cost
is first-party module graph, which the optimizer does not touch, so the
honest move is to delete it rather than leave config that reads as if it
does something.
Adds the missing `getBlockRegistry` accessor to the existing
`@/blocks/registry` mock. #6083 renamed that export and the mock was never
updated, so any test reaching those three consumers would have hit
"getBlockRegistry is not a function". Nothing exercises them today.
Not done, deliberately: `isolate: false` is ~20% faster but leaks state
between files and broke two doc-servable tests on the first run.
* docs(tests): explain why the search-replace registry opt-outs are load-bearing
Review read the missing direct import of @/tools/registry as evidence the
vi.unmock calls were no-ops. They are not: the dependency is transitive —
the search-replace planner resolves tool input params through real subblock
configs — and removing both opt-outs fails 8 tests across the two suites.
Comment now says that, so the next reader does not delete them.
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun run setup
Capabilities
- Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
- Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
- Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
- Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
- Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity
One workspace, every surface
Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.
Tables — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule |
Self-hosting
bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:
- Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
- Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
- Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster
When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.
Manage your install with bun run sim:
bun run sim start | stop | restart # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs # follow logs
bun run sim doctor # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset # archive .env and wipe managed data
sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.
Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
