When attempting to use Storybook 8 with PNPM in my Next.js project, I encounter errors indicating that various Storybook dependencies cannot be resolved. This issue persists despite multiple troubleshooting attempts, including clearing caches, reinstalling dependencies, and trying different versions of Storybook and PNPM.
Environment:
Node: v20.15.0
PNPM: 8.15.6
NPM: 10.7.0
Next.js: v14.2.4
OS: MacOS 13.2.1
Dev Dependencies related to Storybook in package.json:
{
"@chromatic-com/storybook": "^1.6.0",
"@storybook/addon-essentials": "^8.1.11",
"@storybook/addon-interactions": "^8.1.11",
"@storybook/addon-links": "^8.1.11",
"@storybook/addon-onboarding": "^8.1.11",
"@storybook/blocks": "^8.1.11",
"@storybook/nextjs": "^8.1.11",

"@storybook/test": "^8.1.11",
"eslint-plugin-storybook": "^0.8.0",
"storybook": "^8.1.11"
}
Expected Behavior:
The Storybook should start without errors.
Actual Behavior:
I receive the following errors when trying to run Storybook:
~ pnpm storybook

> storybook dev -p 6006
@storybook/cli v8.1.11

WARN Broken build, fix the error above.

ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.
Attempts to Fix:
- Created a new project with React and PNPM and used Storybook but encountered the same error.
- Reinstalled Node, and NPM, removed Yarn, and re-installed PNPM and Corepack.
I suspect the issue may be related to Storybook, but I’m not sure how to proceed further. Any guidance on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried several approaches to resolve this issue, including:
- Clearing PNPM cache.
- Reinstalling dependencies.
- Trying different versions of PNPM.
- Ensuring all required dependencies are explicitly listed in package.json.
- Reinstalling Node.js, Corepack, NPM, and removing Yarn.
- Creating a new Next.js Project in my machine with PNPM and Storybook. Got the same issue.
