Simplytest Returns Online with Drupal 10.5, Demo Fixes, and API Improvements
- Source: Simplytest back up and running! by Matt Glaman (29 Aug 2025)
Matt Glaman reports that Simplytest, the long-standing Drupal sandbox service, is back online after critical maintenance and restored API access. A block on Drupal.org API calls had disrupted the platform, but collaboration with the Drupal Association resolved the issue. The update also addresses a Drush 10.3 compatibility problem, brings Drupal core from 10.1 to 10.5, and updates frontend dependencies including React.
Demo environments received fixes and enhancements: Umami and Commerce Kickstart installs are working again, the Starshot → Drupal CMS demo runs successfully, and themes requiring module dependencies can now be tested. Contrib projects like Commerce benefit from previews including the PHP bcmath extension. Supported by Open Collective contributors, Simplytest is now stable, with planned improvements including Drupal 11 readiness, Tugboat-based faster previews, and a refreshed UI with Radix or similar libraries.
