for the meantime, this lib https://github.com/gvaldambrini/storybook-router mitigated the error

Yes, the error still exist. If I try to use the Link component outside a Router, it throws the following error.

I'm getting this too. Just bumping the comment thread to not let this go stale.
Meanwhile, https://github.com/gvaldambrini/storybook-router has worked for me.

This is not an issue with storybook, the error comes from react-router as is evidenced by the screenshots being posted. If you look at the source of https://github.com/gvaldambrini/storybook-router/blob/master/packages/react/react.js the fix is clear. Wrap the output of your story in a <MemoryRouter/> from react-router. To make this reusable write your own simple decorator:

export const withMemoryRouter = (story: any) => (
  <MemoryRouter>{story()}</MemoryRouter>
);

Storybook can't be expected to pull in and wrap third party library's wrappers. For example similar errors would occur with components that use connect or useSelector outside of a mocked react-redux <Provider/> or @material-ui theme functions outside of a <ThemeProvider/>.

Same error for me. @afholderman solution worked perfectly.

Thanks @afholderman

Also we can simply use addDecorator method:

...
import { MemoryRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { store } from '../../../../redux/store/connect';

storiesOf('common', module)
  .addDecorator(getStory => <Provider store={store}>{getStory()}</Provider>)
  .addDecorator(getStory => <MemoryRouter>{getStory()}</MemoryRouter>)
  .add('Component Name', () => <Component/>);

@nickzcv and for those of you using CSF:

import { MemoryRouter } from 'react-router-dom';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { store } from '../../../../redux/store/connect';

export default {
  title: 'common',
  decorators: [
    getStory => <Provider store={store}>{getStory()}</Provider>,
    getStory => <MemoryRouter>{getStory()}</MemoryRouter>,
  ]
}

export const ComponentName = () => <Component />;

Hey there, it's me again! I am going close this issue to help our maintainers focus on the current development roadmap instead. If the issue mentioned is still a concern, please open a new ticket and mention this old one. Cheers and thanks for using Storybook!

I'm using styled components and get this error by creating an styled link, although if I create the styled componentn inside the index.js I get no error, why?
