WebpackOptionsValidationError when starting about storybook-addon-next HOT 8 CLOSED

Thanks for opening this!

It seems that you are using the webpack 4 builder instead of the webpack 5 builder. Can you try to use the webpack 5 builder and see if that works for you?

The instructions are here

from storybook-addon-next.

I've no idea which builder I'm using. It's whatever is currently default for Next and Storybook -- this is in line with "no config", isn't it? ;)

Yes, the error goes away if I replace the Storybook line with npx sb init --builder webpack5.

Is there some way to give a friendlier error message in this situation? Perhaps you can detect Storybook was set up with Webpack 4 and emit a warning?

In my actual project, however, I'm getting Error: Cannot find module 'webpack/lib/util/makeSerializable.js', with a stacktrace pointing to react-docgen-typescript-plugin. I've no idea if that's a bug with this package, or with Storybook, or with react-docgen-typescript-plugin.

Reproducable from scratch with

npx create-next-app@latest bug --typescript
cd bug
npx sb init --builder webpack5 # and say yes to linter
npm i -D --force storybook-addon-next
< add addon to config >
npm run storybook

Oh my. That's an error storybook hasn't fixed yet (you can search for this issues on their GitHub project page). The current working solution is to install webpack as a dev dependency to your project.

I should probably put something addressing this in the docs.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I really appreciate it.

Ah while you responded here I thought "this ought to be a separate ticket" and opened #80. I'll look at storybook's issues...

Oh my goodness I'd missed part of what you said above:

The current working solution is to install webpack as a dev dependency to your project.

It's working beautifully now. Thank you!

I'll leave this open since I think a better error message for when webpack 5 hasn't been activated would be a good idea.
