Upgrading with npx sb@next upgrade is failing with the error "Cannot read property 'matches' of undefined"

[ophinjay]

My stories are currently running on storybook 6.0.20. On 6.0.20, my stories are working fine. When I start storybook, I get the following notification

A new version (6.1.1) is available! 
Upgrade now: npx sb@next upgrade

So I ran npx sb@next upgrade but it fails with the following error log

@ophinjay Do you have a repro repo you can share?

@ophinjay Do you have a repro repo you can share?

@shilman I'm trying this on a private repo. So I cannot share that with you. I will try to see if I can reproduce the issue in a shareable repo

[shilman]

Thanks @ophinjay 🙏 much appreciated

[erosenberg]

I am also trying this from a private repo and mine is hanging at Checking for latest versions of '@storybook/*' packages

I have the same issue on the following repo when using node version 15. I tried using node 12 and it worked. Here is the repo: https://github.com/vogelino/vogelui

We’re cleaning house! Storybook has changed a lot since this issue was created and we don’t know if it’s still valid. Please open a new issue referencing this one if:

• this is still a problem in SB 7.x
• you can provide a consistent reproduction in 7.x (at https://storybook.new/ or per repro docs).

[frank-topel-dbi]

I can confirm this is still a problem even in SB 8.x.

npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
