Summary

Storybook has had an update and the documentation linked to configuring storybook no longer works!

Also Gatsby's Link component doesnt play nice with storybook any longer. This is how i came across the issue with this part of the documentation.

Im not sure exactly on how to resolve these issues, but thought it would be worth reporting incase other people have any issues setting it up in the mean time!

Steps to Resolve this Issue

1. download https://github.com/darylthornhill/test-gatsby-storybook-error npm run storybook to start storybook and see the errors with Gatsby Link.
2. After trying that, copy and paste the example code pieces for the main.js and the preview.js into the respective files and run npm run storybook and see further errors.

Hi, thanks for the issue!

I don't personally use Storybook and we probably also won't spend any time writing glue code for this. I assume you refer to the 7.0 release? https://storybook.js.org/releases/7.0

If I read it correctly, they introduced a new API: https://storybook.js.org/blog/framework-api/ But I couldn't find anything for Gatsby.

It seems like https://storybook.js.org/docs/react/contribute/framework needs to be followed for Gatsby now. But again, we don't have time to do this, so it's up for the community to contribute this.

However, I've seen https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/issues/22065, so happy to help updating our docs.

Hey! Is this issue still open?

[graysonhicks]

Looks like storybook's own Gatsby example is broken on their v7 version, so they need to provide guidance on what should change. There is already an open issue on the Storybook repo. Since the issue was introduced by them, it will be tracked there. I guess this can remain open to update docs once the underlying functionality is fixed.

Still an issue for me: I'm not able to update from the storybook 6.5 version, which consequentially (for particular conditions) blocks me from updating typescript from the 4.7 version
