Way to disable Storybook from logging verbose on Travis?

[erichdev]

I have an app that runs Storybook in its Travis build, and Storybook is logging several thousand lines. Is there a way to disable this? It's making it hard to go through the log and causes lag with scrolling because of how long it is.

Looks like you're already using a custom webpack file. You can just add some additional configuration to silence the output.

@danielduan Thanks for the response. Adding stats: 'none' did not stop the logging. I also tried stats: { chunks: false, chunkModules: false, maxModules: false } based on tips I found here, still no effect. I even tried adding both variations directly to the config at @storybook/react/dist/server/config/defaults/webpack.config(&prod).js and it still logs. Is this purely a webpack issue? Any ideas why adding the stats option had no effect?

you shouldn't be running start-storybook on a server. that's intended for development purposes.

take a look at build-storybook. it outputs a static bundle so you can host it on any http server.

Found the root cause -- Storybook's webpack config uses ProgressPlugin which does all the logging, regardless of the { stats: 'none' } config. My solution was to remove that plugin with storybookBaseConfig.plugins.pop(). Let me know if there's a better solution, since this may not be safe if Storybook's config changes in the future.

I'd suggest this:

storybookBaseConfig.plugins = storybookBaseConfig.plugins.filter(plugin =>
  plugin.constructor.name !== 'ProgressPlugin')
