Storybook: StoryShots ReferenceError: unknown base.cacheDirectory

[adonis-work]

I get Unknown option: base.cacheDirectory when trying to run StoryShots through Jest on vanilla project from create-react-app with only StoryBook added.

StoryBook works ok with create-react-app.

There was also an error regarding react-test-renderer because installing StoryShots doesn't install it, but that can be fixed with npm install.

    A common cause of this error is the presence of a configuration options object without the corresponding preset

More details about the first error, it can be reproduced using the examples/cra-storybook in this repo.

https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/tree/master/examples/cra-storybook

After npm install --save-dev @storybook/addon-storyshots and adding the

import initStoryshots from '@storybook/addon-storyshots';

initStoryshots();

to the src/App.test.js I get this error:

$ npm test

After installing the missing package with

I get the same error:

I worked around this issue by commenting out line 20 of ./node_modules/@storybook/react/dist/server/config/babel.js where the cacheDirectory option is:

module.exports = {
  // Don't try to find .babelrc because we want to force this configuration.
  babelrc: false,
  // This is a feature of `babel-loader` for webpack (not Babel itself).
  // It enables a cache directory for faster-rebuilds
  // `find-cache-dir` will create the cache directory under the node_modules directory.
  // cacheDirectory: findCacheDir({ name: 'react-storybook' }),
  presets: [require.resolve('babel-preset-es2015'), require.resolve('babel-preset-es2016'), require.resolve('babel-preset-stage-0'), require.resolve('babel-preset-react')]
};

[adonis-work]

Thanks for the workaround. :+1:

I can confirm that workaround with commenting out cacheDirectory: line works.

Hope we get an official patch soon.

[romulo-rosinha]

Another workaround is sticking to "@storybook/addon-storyshots": "3.0.0", it seems commit https://github.com/storybooks/storybook/commit/da961dc5081a6ce468af01993baf73abc1a65881 introduced the issue.

[adonis-work]

Using version 3.0.0 causes another error on my side.

@adonis-work perhaps try putting a .babelrc at the root of your project (or in the storyshots directory) -- does that help with the above?

[shilman]

Here's where the problem got introduced apparently. In the old code (which looks buggy) babelConfig would have been undefined when passed into transformFileSync:

[tmeasday]

(The above is my theory, thanks for posting @shilman), will try and confirm a bit later on.

[adonis-work]

@tmeasday It helps with the first error but then I get same error as above:

[cmcnamara87]

Having the exact same problems.

[chrisnojima]

I think i have the same issue. It seems like storyshots isn't aware of my webpack config. I get complaints about it not knowing how to load .css files. I have a .storybook/webpack.config.js which works fine for doing a regular storybook run

[tmeasday]

Fixed in 3.1.6!

[ajhyndman]

This still seems to be affecting me, when using 3.1.9.

[tmeasday]

Hi @ajhyndman -- can you open a new issue with a few more details?

[ajhyndman]

Yeah, I'll do a little more investigation. :+1:

[ajhyndman]

Whoops, I assumed this was fixed in @storybook/[email protected]. I hadn't upgraded @storybook/react to match.

All good now!

[tmeasday]

Great! Thanks
