[Bug] Basic button story for Svelte 4 and Storybook 8 fails

[cge-taal]

Describe the bug

Following the basic button story example, gives the following error:

TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'story' of 'o' as it is undefined.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Try the example above with the following stack

• svelte : 4.2.18
• storybook : 8.2.1
• @storybook/addon-svelte-csf : 4.1.4

Using framework '@storybook/sveltekit' (in main.ts)

I'm basically trying to find the best Storybook experience for Svelte 4, with <slot/> support.

Does this plugin support Storybook 8 already?

Is this plugin still necessary for Storybook 8 and Svelte 4, with <slot/> support ?

Any links to the best working examples would be much appreciated.

I'm unable to reproduce the reported behavior. Copying the example from the readme works fine with the versions you've listed (all the latest at the time of writing). I had to fix the syntax error with onClick, but other than that it worked fine.

Could you provide a minimal reproduction in a repository? See https://storybook.js.org/docs/contribute/how-to-reproduce

[cge-taal]

Hi @JReinhold , thank you very much for taking a look. I would normally have offered a small reproducible example from the outset, but thought maybe referring to the official example (which I thought I followed verbatim) would be enough. That said, I'm glad to learn it is working for others and would love to get to the bottom of the issue.

So this morning, I just started on creating a small example - keeping detailed notes of my steps

pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest -e with-svelte test-sveltekit-storybook # choose pnpm
cd test-sveltekit-storybook/packages/ui
pnpm dlx storybook init  # choose Vite

Already on the 3rd line I'm getting a new error (it seems version 8.2.2 of Storybook was released since yesterday). Please see the attached output. Shall I make a new ticket for that?
storybook-init-error.txt

I'm on these tool versions

• pnpm -v : 9.4.0
• node -v : v20.14.0

[cge-taal]

I've created a repo for the above here: https://github.com/cge-taal/test-sveltekit-storybook

It contains literally only the files generated with

pnpm dlx create-turbo@latest -e with-svelte test-sveltekit-storybook # choose pnpm

..with the addition of a .gitignore file.

After a fresh clone, if I now try

cd test-sveltekit-storybook/packages/ui
pnpm dlx storybook init  # choose Vite

I get a different error: storybook-init-error.txt

Summarised in the readme

Works for me with the following recipe.

Create a SvelteKit 2 app using Typescript and Svelte 4 with all available integrations (ie. prettier, eslint, playwright, vitest, )

npm create svelte@latest my-svelte-kit-app
Need to install the following packages:
create-svelte@6.3.8
Ok to proceed? (y) y

create-svelte version 6.3.8

┌  Welcome to SvelteKit!
│
◇  Which Svelte app template?
│  Skeleton project
│
◇  Add type checking with TypeScript?
│  Yes, using TypeScript syntax
│
◇  Select additional options (use arrow keys/space bar)
│  Add ESLint for code linting, Add Prettier for code formatting, Add Playwright for browser testing, Add Vitest for unit testing
│
└  Your project is ready!

Install more integrations with:
  npx svelte-add

Next steps:
  1: cd my-svelte-kit-app
  2: npm install
  3: git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit" (optional)
  4: npm run dev -- --open

Enter the newly created app

cd my-svelte-kit-app

Running Storybook

> my-svelte-kit-app@0.0.1 storybook
> storybook dev -p 6006 --quiet

storybook v8.2.9

info => Starting manager..
info => Starting preview..
The following Vite config options will be overridden by SvelteKit:
  - base
Forced re-optimization of dependencies
Sourcemap for "/virtual:/@storybook/builder-vite/setup-addons.js" points to missing source files
Sourcemap for "/virtual:/@storybook/builder-vite/vite-app.js" points to missing source files
21.24.10 [vite] ✨ new dependencies optimized: @storybook/blocks
21.24.10 [vite] ✨ optimized dependencies changed. reloading

Storybook loads and everything looks fine.

I then added the https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-svelte-csf

npm install --save-dev @storybook/addon-svelte-csf

I added the Button example (adding the missing onClick handler function)

<script>
    export let rounded = true;

    function onClick() {
        console.log('hello')
    }
  </script>
  
  <style>
    .rounded {
      border-radius: 35px;
    }
  
    button {
      border: 3px solid;
      padding: 10px 20px;
      background-color: white;
      outline: none;
    }
  </style>
  
  <button class="button" class:rounded on:click={onClick}>
    <slot />
  </button>

And then the stories

<script context="module">
    import Button from './Button.svelte';
  
    export const meta = {
      title: "Button",
      component: Button
    }
  </script>
  
  <script>
    import { Story, Template } from '@storybook/addon-svelte-csf';
  
    let count = 0;
    function handleClick() {
      count += 1;
    }
  </script>
  
  <Template let:args>
    <!--👇 'on:click' allows to forward event to addon-actions  -->
    <Button {...args} 
      on:click
      on:click={handleClick}>
      You clicked: {count}
    </Button>
  </Template>
  
  <Story name="Rounded" args={{rounded: true}}/>
  
  <Story name="Square" source args={{rounded: false}}/>
  
  <!-- Dynamic snippet should be disabled for this story -->
  <Story name="Button No Args">
    <Button>Label</Button>
  </Story>

The Storybook page hot reloads the changes and it works :)

Thanks a lot @kristianmandrup for the detailed example. I forgot to update the ticket here, but in my comment on another ticket ( storybookjs/storybook#28563 (comment) ) I describe how I got it to work in the turborepo context.

Btw, in your base button example, I think the idea is not to define the onClick handler there, but instead have

<button class="button" class:rounded on:click>
  <slot />
</button>

That way, when you click on the button the on:click is forwarded in a way where Storybook picks it up and displays it in the Actions tab.

Great to have it working for Svelte!
