Freezes upon starting with "webpack built 4f2763299ad82ff003bf in 8785ms"

[pfftdammitchris]

Describe the bug
I invoke npm run storybook and it freezes at at "webpack built 4f2763299ad82ff003bf in 8785ms". I installed it on a gatsby v2 stack.

Expected behavior
It should proceed.

Screenshots

Code snippets
.storybook/webpack.config.js:

const path = require('path')

module.exports = (baseConfig, env, defaultConfig) => {
  // Transpile Gatsby module because Gastby includes un-transpiled ES6 code.
  defaultConfig.module.rules[0].exclude = [/node_modules\/(?!(gatsby)\/)/]

  // use installed babel-loader which is v8.0-beta (which is meant to work with @babel/core@7)
  defaultConfig.module.rules[0].use[0].loader = require.resolve('babel-loader')

  // The next two lines should always reflect the config in jest-preprocess.js until there is a way for Gatsby to expose an internal webpack.config
  // use @babel/preset-react for JSX and env (instead of staged presets)
  defaultConfig.module.rules[0].use[0].options.presets = [
    require.resolve('babel-preset-gatsby'),
  ]

  // use @babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties for class arrow functions
  defaultConfig.module.rules[0].use[0].options.plugins = []

  defaultConfig.resolve.modules.push(
    'node_modules',
    path.resolve(__dirname, '../src') // Allows for direct imports for paths like components/Button, etc.
  )

  return defaultConfig
}

Looks like downgrading to 4.0.9 resolves this issue.

#5004

[spietrek]

I'm seeing the same thing. I mistakenly had this in my addons.js file. Things started working again once I removed it.

import '@storybook/addon-notes/register';

[dakom]

FYI I had a similar issue using react+typescript and it turned out that naming the file addons.ts instead of addons.js fixed it

[ken0x0a]

@dakom Thank you!! your solution works 🗡

[larsenwork]

FWIW removing node modules folder and re-installing npm packages fixed it for me
