Module build failed with thread-loader for javascript modules

[lozinsky]

Describe the bug
When javascript modules build with thread-loader, building fails with the error:

ERROR in ./.storybook/generated-entry.js
Module build failed (from ./node_modules/thread-loader/dist/cjs.js):
Thread Loader (Worker 0)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add thread-loader@2.1.3 dependency
2. Add thread-loader to javascript webpack rule
3. Run start-storybook

Expected behavior
There should be no error.

Additional context
I guess that webpack-virtual-modules plugin

storybook/lib/core/src/server/preview/iframe-webpack.config.js

Lines 52 to 60 in 3bcaaeb

	? new VirtualModulePlugin({
	[path.resolve(path.join(configDir, `generated-entry.js`))]: `
	import { configure } from '@storybook/${framework}';
	module._StorybookPreserveDecorators = true;
	configure([${stories.map(toRequireContextString).join(',')}
	], module);
	`,
	})

is not compatible with thread-loader.

Hi, I am having the same issue. Any update or maybe workaround? @lozinsky @chloeleichen

[lozinsky]

@hasable we stopped using thread-loader for javascript code in storybook config ☹️

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!

Still seeing this issue running Storybook@latest, webpack@latest, and thread-loader@latest

Same for @nuxtjs/storybook!
