Problem

Describe the bug Sometimes when Vite is starting up with Storybook, it throws an error as shown below. Normally it's difficult to reproduce, but I've got a set of steps that seems to reliably reproduce the issue (at least, it happened to a storybook maintainer, and I was able to follow the steps as well. 1. checked out https://github.com/yannbf/storybook-coverage-recipes/tree/main/angular_vite 2. ran `npx storybook@future upgrade --prerelease --yes && yarn storybook` 3. Storybook opened fine but after compiling, then it broke completely because of a Typescript issue 4. I fixed the types by renaming Story to StoryFn (3 files: `button.stories.ts`, `page.stories.ts`, `header.stories.ts`) 5. I ran `yarn storybook` again 6.

Fix ENOENT Error During Storybook Startup with Vite

Medium Risk

The ENOENT error occurs due to a race condition or file system inconsistency when Vite attempts to rename temporary files during the build process. This can happen if the files are being accessed or modified concurrently, leading to the failure in locating the specified directory or file.

Awaiting Verification

Be the first to verify this fix

  1. 1

    Ensure Clean Build Environment

    Before running Storybook, ensure that there are no leftover temporary files from previous builds that could interfere with the current build process. This can be done by cleaning the build cache.

    bash
    yarn cache clean && rm -rf node_modules/.vite
  2. 2

    Update Vite and Storybook Packages

    Ensure that you are using the latest compatible versions of Vite and Storybook. This can help resolve any bugs that may have been fixed in newer releases.

    bash
    yarn upgrade vite @storybook/vue
  3. 3

    Modify File Watcher Settings

    Adjust the file watcher settings in Vite to reduce the likelihood of file access conflicts. This can be done by increasing the polling interval.

    typescript
    vite.config.js:
    
    export default defineConfig({
      server: {
        watch: {
          usePolling: true,
          interval: 100,
        },
      },
    });
  4. 4

    Run Storybook with Increased Memory Limit

    Sometimes, memory limits can cause unexpected behavior. Increase the Node.js memory limit when starting Storybook to avoid potential issues.

    bash
    NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=4096' yarn storybook
  5. 5

    Check for Concurrent Processes

    Ensure that there are no other processes running that may be accessing the same files or directories. This can be verified using system monitoring tools.

    bash
    ps aux | grep node

Validation

Confirm that the ENOENT error no longer appears when running 'yarn storybook'. Additionally, verify that Storybook compiles and runs without issues after making these changes.
